I was born in Eskilstuna, Sweden, on August 4 1974
along with my twin sister, Lovisa. Me and my sister were like cat and dog when we grew up.
When we got older and moved away from home to live our own lives we somehow got really close.
My sister moved to another city to study, I guess she needed some things that could serve as
a reference point in her new surroundings, so we spoke on the phone almost every day during that time.
Despite the fact that some people think that Eskilstuna is a dull city, I've been true to my hometown
for all of my life. It's quite an average Swedish city, with about 90,000 people and an industrial history.
The capitol of Sweden, Stockholm, is not very far away,
only an hour by train. This makes it easy to go there if the thirst for big city life is too strong.After high school I made my military Service in Stockholm for ten months and I also worked for one summer in a café there. I really didn't like the stressful tempo, the crowded streets or the long time spent on the subway to commute. That's how I realized that big City Life is not for me.
Once I had finished my military service I figured it was time to study some more, but since it was mid
semester it wasn't really easy to start the education I wanted to. Therefor I took a temporary job as a trainee
at Radio Eskilstuna where I now had been broadcasting once a week for two years. This was a totally different thing,
broadcasting at least two hours per day and fixing interviews, taking care of record company contacts and also
beeing in charge of staff and schedules. During my time at Radio Eskilstuna I met
Ingela Borgefjord,
the other half of the Swedish House Crew. She also had a radio show on Radio Eskilstuna and after spending
time together there we became good friends.After eight months at the radio station I decided to take on studying again, so I applied to the local college Mälardalens Högskola. For three years I studied business management and economics. I then took a course in systems development and found out I liked that more, so I continued studying programming and systems development for almost two more years. In total I spent almost five years at college. Now I work as a systems developer/professional computer nerd for Volvo Information Technology. I must stress that I'm not a web-designer, so don't be too disapointed about my homepage;)
