Born in the western part of Denmark in the glorious year of 1966.

I didn't know what to do after the gymnasium (equivalent to high school) so I joined the Royal Danish Air force, thinking I would know what I wanted within a year or two.

Well, time flies when you are having fun, so my career as a professional soldier lasted 10 years (1986-1996).

Just for information; HAWK is a SAM system. SAM meaning Surface-to-Air-Missile. The missile system and the 8 squadrons placed in Denmark was closed down in the beginning of 2005. Take a look at my former squadron www.esk534.dk

Due to the rightful diminishing of funds for the armed forces after the collapse of the regimes in eastern Europe, I decided now was a good time to make a career move.

I did by studying to be a laboratory technician and for almost 11 years I worked in the department of Formulation Development for an agro-chemical company, Cheminova.

After so many years I thought it was time to meet new challenges, and I have moved the focus from pesticides to food, as I'm currently work at Eurofins.

I'm a little of a technical buff and I simply love fiddling with the various apparatus and machinery used to develop and test the products.

This interest for technique can also be seen in some of my interests outside work.
