Personal:
I was born 1962 in Mariestad in Sweden and moved to Linköping 1981
to study at the university there. In 1997 I moved to Dublin to join
Programming Research Ltd. I enjoy living in Ireland and regard it as my
home now. I am married to Kari, and have no children.
I have been a member of many clubs, often as a committee
member. Most notably the university computer club Lysator has given me
many opportunities to practice what I learned in school.
In my spare time I am looking for adventures and fun with my
wife in the nature, on travels, in books, in movies and among friends.
My motorcycle contributes to the adventures.
I enjoy working with our house and in the garden. Seeing what comes up in the garden is also an adventure.
