About me
Willkommen! I'm Frederik (or Fredi), I'm 22 years old, and I live in Munich, Germany. I study Digital Design & IT at Hofstra University, in New York, which means I go back and forth from Germany and the US from time to time. I'm an avid content creator, I create digital graphics, websites (like this one), and Photos. I've also been a Moderator/Admin for multiple communities on the side, because I enjoy working with people, and the technical aspect of successfully delivering content. Event Management and Lighting are hobbies of mine as well, but have never been my main interest.

I've worked in Teams before, I can work well under pressure, which became apparent to me, especially in the Event business, when planning, and organizing things on Event days. Since I change country every so often, I've gotten used to working flexible times, early, and late, and while it's not ideal, it's nothing new to me.
Starting as a Moderator in Minecraft was an excellent introduction to communicating efficiently, and consistently with others (Other staff members, and Guests/Players), and I've become more familiar with the job; It also gave me a new level of appreciation for others doing this job in bigger Communities and Servers.
Personally, I play a lot of computer games (Minecraft, GTA 5, Star Citizen, etc.), I love Metal working and Fabrication, and making my own furniture. I also write a lot, and I've published (mainly) Fan Fiction, but I'm working on stories of my own as well. To date, I've written over 2000 pages, or around 500.000 words in Stories (probably more than I've ever written for School).
