About Me

I'm born and raised in a small arctic town way up in the north of Sweden. Obviously I'm a reasonably skilled polar bear hunter and reindeer rider. After High-school I travelled for two years and then studied in the south of Sweden for five years. I majored in physics but after finishing my degree I moved to London where I started a video production company.

I recently moved back to Sweden and now live in Stockholm where I work as a high school teacher.

At the moment I can provide a sofa bed. I live in Gröndal, Stockholm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After being paralysed from my neck down in a space mission for the USSR I climbed K2 using my chin and eyebrows. Fortunately I fell on the descent and landed on my spine which unparalysed me so all is good now.

Laughs, high-fives and whisky! Also, I bake the best triple chocolate brownies.
