Facts:

I live in a wonderful town called Västervik on the east coast of Sweden. My wife Ebon works as a tourist officer in this town. I´m a landscape architect by profession and work as a teacher at Valstadskolan in Gamleby, a senior highschool for agriculture and gardening. I`m also president of the local organisation of Swedish Teachers Union.

We have three children, two daughters, Ragna och Susanne, and a son. Our son Peter has got his own homepage, which you may visit. We also have two grandchildren, Charlotta, 6 years old, and Emma, 2 years old.

My interests are travelling, history and a general interest in what´s happening in our society. I also have a strong belief in the European Union and it´s fundamentals for preserving peace in Europe.

My background: I was born in Dortmund, Germany. I came to sweden in the middle of the 1950´s.
