Mr. Hohmann was born and raised in Fulda, Germany and at a very young age had always been interested in sports playing soccer, table tenis, and badminton. At the age of nine his father took him to a local pool hall and on his 10 birthday he received a miniature pool table. By age twelve Mr. Hohmann and a friend began playing pool at a local pool hall. To try and save money he began paying a monthly fee to play at a local pool hall called Pool-Billard Club Fulda. By age 16 he had won his first open adult tournament with 128 players in the State of Hessia.

In 2003 Mr. Hohmann became, at age 23, the younest man to that date to win the WPA World Championships. (This was since eclipsed by Wu Chia Ching who won at age 16.) Mr. Hohmann moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 2004 and remains a resident there.
