HELLO AGAIN!

I am Christian Baur and I grew up deep in the Bavarian nirvana, in a village with more cows than people. I’ve always been driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world beyond the stables. But trouble was hard to find between livestock and acres of beautiful rolling hills.

So to get things started, I peed into the milk tank of the local cheese factory, nearly got killed as a hitchhiking teenager, failed miserably as a professional snowboarder but then somehow found myself well on the other side of the picket fence. 

Along the way, I created an uncrashable car, made a new breed of tulip, reinvented a 258 year old cognac brand and shot a music video hitting 85 million views and counting. Some of my work won shiny awards - the most precious coming from the Hamburg Police for helping them catch burglars.

And when I’m not applying my skills in a semi-professional environment, I’m using them to direct music videos, write short films, raise my kid, or build furniture. Oh, and I still very much love snowboarding.
