Biography
Dominik started flying with 15 years old and got the license only a few days after his 16th Birthday (minimum age to get the license in Switzerland). From then, he loved flying with your friends, trying all different kinds of wings, and finally got into competition 3 years after he got his licence. Until today, he still enjoys every flight and the freedom of just flying somewhere, packing your stuff after a long flight and traveling back home with your little backpack by bus or train, just to do the exact same thing the next day again.
