CURRENT MISSION

Travel and skydive while running my own business

ABOUT ME

I guess I'm a curious person – 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 – and most of all jumping out of perfectly fine airplanes. Skydiving becomes a lifestyle, and not just a hobby.. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

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.
