Before I started university, I attended the music conservatory, where double bass was my main instrument. Since then I have continued to play a lot of music in my free time.
In February 2022, I moved to the Faroe Islands with my wife and our half year-old daughter after living in Copenhagen for 17 years. We have bought a house in Skopun, which we are incredibly happy with.
I am also a serious sourdough enthusiast who spends a good part of my time baking bread (too much time, according to my wife...).
