About
Two people, two dogs, one stubborn Discovery.
I’m Stephan. I’ve worked on cars since long before it was content: bodywork, woodwork, lately 3D printing. I used to shoot photos for TV, I fly a licensed drone, and I’d rather spend a weekend on a muddy track than anywhere else.
Mud & Manners started in Germany as @draussenfans. The new name says what it was always about: you can go hard out there and still behave. Get dirty. Leave clean.
Set a background image: Stephan, [partner], Oscar & Svea at the rig.
