• FEATURES: Born under a romantic moon

I was born in July 1972 under a romantic moon. My parents brought me up in this small villiage called Taberg. Since they didn´t knew better, they´d let me do whatever i wanted to and that has led me to many wild adventures. Some of these adventures I have shared with Martin and Andreas, among them, the adventures of LLB. In private I´m a shy guy who likes spending time with my closest friends, family and computers. I´m an educated man and can call myself "Chef", "Photografer" and "Webdesigner" today. On top of that I play guitar and sing a lot. My gift or should I say blessing, is the blessing of learning... I can learn anything I want to in brief periods of time. I have also learned that such a gift is the greatest of all in our complex, modern society called "Civilisation". My musical influences vary from pop (Roxette) to grunge (Nirvana), to Rock (Goo-goo dolls and Oasis) and finlly to hardrock (Metallica). My favourite swedish artist is Lars Winnerbäck, who keeps amazing me with incredible lyrics. Per Gessle is of course also a fantastic musician. As outstanding bands of all time, R.E.M and The Beatles are personal favourites too.

When I don´t play the guitar or work with webdesign, I love playing games and spending time with girls (I had to write that you know). My top three games are in no perticular order; Chess, Magic the Gathering and Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.

• My strongest feature is as said, the learning ability in major.
• My weakest point being economy (all money must be spent each month).
• My thanx goes to: My family, Marre, Andis and my girlfriend (if any). Vin&sprit AB for the "Kir".
• Thanx to you to for reading my story and participating in my life (if you in any way have).
