A little about my background

I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, but have moved around a bit since then. I have lived in Israel, East Africa, Australia and England, and these changes of environments, and meeting with people from around the globe undeniably gives a person a broader outlook on life. I lived in Australia for four years, and it was my intention to stay there permanently. But these were the years of the Vietnam war, and the Australian military authorities thought that I should do a two-year-stint in the army. This made me decide to go back to Sweden.

Back in Sweden again, I did my military service in the Air Force, and then got my Master´s degree in electronic engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

I have had about 50 employments over the years, providing me with varying experiences. After visiting the COMDEX-exhibition in Las Vegas 1992, I was inspired to start out as an entrepreneur of my own, and I have done fairly well, considering that I have, so far, not spent a dime on advertising or marketing.

It is my experience that personal contacts are sufficient for me, because I don´t want more to do than that I can devote time to other interests as well.

But; being visible on the Internet is a good thing, if one wants contacts with people far afield. It provides more value than just business contacts. I often get more business than I can handle.

I believe:

  • In the merits of a vegetarian lifestyle

  • In the Buddhist view on life

  • In Karma-induced reincarnation

  • That "A Course in Miracles" can be the tool to rid you of this karma

  • That modulated microwaves have a destructive influence on living beings, and that our use of cellphones will pose a growing problem

  • That the world's dependence on oil to propel vehicles is ridiculous, immensely costly and could easily be reduced if there was a strong enough determination to end this dependence.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Or is it?

I have so much trees in my yard that it's difficult to get a good picture. But this is my house as seen from the south
