On a personal note
I grew up in a family that was fascinated with architecture and design, which sparked an early appreciation for craft, aesthetics, and longevity. Today, I stay curious about contemporary trends and new technology – from latest electronics, software and music – with a keen interest in how things are made and evolve.
Outside of work, I spend time with my family – my wife Marianne and our two daughters, Ella and Frida. We live in Roskilde, close to nature and the fjord, with Copenhagen just 25 minutes commute away by train.
I enjoy socializing, photography, mountain biking in the nearby forests and renovating our 1960s house – an apparently never-ending project that continues to challenge and energize me.
