关于我
CURRENT MISSION
Travel and skydive while running my own business
ABOUT ME
I guess I'm a curious person â both in the sense that I'm slightly peculiar, but also eager to learn more about most things. :)
I work with software development, as CEO for a tiny company that works with search engines. I've been interested in computers for most my life, and am an engineer at heart.
When I don't work, I enjoy brewing craft beers â and most of all jumping out of perfectly fine airplanes. Skydiving becomes a lifestyle, and not just a hobby.. :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情
Entered a plane without knowing where it was going – to skydive out of it 15 minutes later, to find myself hanging 3000 meters above a fjord, between mountains – with the sun going down, completing a fantastic view.
