Personal
I am 38 years old and I live in Copenhagen with my girlfriend Julie. I am often seen in a gym or at
the football field to socialize with friends and training at the same time. I travel as much as I can to
experience new places and get new experiences. Since, I have not been around the world yet, I rarely
go the same place twice. I am the one who make things happen, for example when we have to
arrange a Christmas party. I think the perfect work life balance is where I am challenged
professionally as well as having the time to enjoy life with my girlfriend and friends and being in
good shape.
