Me

Background

I am a Swedish student born 1973 in Luleå, in the Northern part of Sweden. I moved to Umeå 1980 and have lived here ever since. I have a map over Europe, Sweden and Umeå, my city HERE.

I studied "Technical Physics" (a MSc program) between 1993 and 1995.
In june 1995 I had to do my military service in the Swedish army at I20, Umeå during ten months as a "Plutonsjukvårdare" - I got a nice medical training during my service which included three weeks at the surgical department at the big hospital here in Umeå, where I had a marvellous time and got to see almost every known kind of surgical procedure!

Currently I am studying "MSc in Computer Science" at the University of Umeå and it is much more fun than "Technical Physics" was. I will do my Master-thesis during the autumn 2000 and by Christmas 2000 I will receive my Master of Science-degree in Computer Science with Parallel-computing as my special area of expertise.

Hobbies

Between June 1999 and now (July 2000) I have been totally busy by the heavy workload from school and my small business, but I have done well so it has been well worth the effort.

During winter I like to use my Ski-Doo snowmobile, and for a week or so go to the Mountains (Hemavan) and enjoy some downhill skiing and trips on the mountains with the Ski-Doo.

During the summers I have always had some kind of job to make a few bucks extra. I have been a paperboy, manufactured PCBs, worked on ISS (cleaning service), worked at a gas station (Statoil) and the last two summers I have sold computers from my small business at home and worked as a computer-consultant.
