He grew up in Berlin-Spandau, Caracas (Venezuela), on the Amazon, in Ehrenfeld, and in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis. After graduating from the Antoniuskolleg in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid in 1991, Caspers, who originally wanted to become a designer, worked in pathology, in an advertising agency, as well as in various TV production companies. He did his community service in Bonn-Tannenbusch, where he worked in individual care for severely disabled children. From 1997 to 2002, he studied at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne.[1]
