About me

About me I was born in Frederiksberg and grew up in North Zealand as a child. I am married to Lisbeth (née Nørskov), who works as a social educator. Together we took the career chance and relocated to England in 1990. We ended up getting married and having 2 children, Alex, and Emma. In 2002 we relocated back to Denmark. Both children have "left the nest" and are well on their way in each other's relationships and careers. Lisbeth and I like to travel short trips primarily in Denmark/Germany and France, where we get new impressions and good holiday experiences.
