Welcome to the pages of he known as the 'mad Swede' by his fellow friends. Here you will soon find some good links, as well as some info about what I get up to at work and play - Enjoy!

I was born in Linköping in 1968, although my childhood was spent in Örnsköldsvik, more exactly in the village of Järved, whose ice-hockey team are justly famous in that vicinity. I visit my family in a cottage down by the sea in Hålviken as often as I can. So I am an Ö-Viking , one of those wandering the wide world.

I work as a Sr Programmer for eSignal, based out of Des Moines, Iowa, USA.
