After the Military service, he studied at the University of Aarhus and at the The Royal Academy of Music in the Danish town Aarhus.
Having worked for a Danish publisher for some time, he became the director"s intendant of Danmarks Radio radio orchestra from 2002 to 2004. However, since 2004 he lives in Flensburg again. In 2010 he was cultural policy consultant for the Danish minority in Germany at the Danish Parliament.
In May 2010, the Südschleswigsche Wählerverband, SSW nominated him as a candidate for the mayoral election of Flensburg on October 31, 2010.
In the first round of election he was second to Elfi Heesch (Christian Democratic Union und Bündnis 90/Die The Greens, 251%) with 19.4% of the votes and before Thede Boysen (Social Democratic Party of Germany, 182%). Faber succeeded previous lord mayor Klaus Tscheuschner on January 15, 2011 who didn"t run for the post again.
Faber thinks that Flensburg"s location at the Danish border is the town"s biggest chance. That"s why he wants to cooperate with Denmark more than ever before.
Foreign example, he argued in favour of the election of Sønderborg as Kulturhauptstadt Europas in 2017, which would have included Sønderjylland as well as Schleswig, and thus Flensburg.
Together with Denmark, he wants to make the region attractive for regional politics again, to prevent the imminent closing of the Flensburg grounds of the Landestheater or the JVA.
