We present a physical and numerical model of accretion driven growth of super-massive black holes. In this model we can account for (a) the existence of $> 10^9 \textrm{M}_\odot$ black holes already in the first quasars and (b) for the observation that the lower luminosity AGN distribution peaks later in the evolution of the Universe than that of more luminous objects.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
