At the 1982 European Championships he helped win the 4 x 100 metres relay with teammates Christian Zirkelbach, Christian Haas and Erwin Skamrahl. He finished fifth at the 1984 Summer Olympics and sixth at the 1988 Summer Olympics, both times in the relay. He also competed at the 1986 European Championships, the 1987 World Championships and the 1990 European Championships without reaching the finals.
