About

I have always wanted, and have had the opportunity, to work with technique and mechanics. Therefore mechanical engineer with a background as a trained mechanic was the natural choice. My interests, training and education are main reasons why I find it motivating to translate ideas and theory into practice. My career has alternated between mechanical design, project management and personnel management. I am a mechanical designer from the heart, and I find the greatest joy and motivation by working on technical issues and projects of technical nature in relation with what really matters, namely other people.
