About Me
InHouse is a big part of me. I started it from scratch and it’s amazing where it is going—thanks also to the others involved. When not at work I have simple tastes: fresh air, a good cup of coffee, peace—and by the way, it’s me that makes the coffee. I’m happy to potter around at home, fixing things.
My Saturday treat is a cheese platter by the pool with my wife and my poodle, Jac. We are now the family elders, as all parents have passed. Spending time with the grandchildren is a good way to pass the time and it’s great to watch them grow and develop.
I was born in Stockholm and have been back twice to see parents and family, once accompanied by our eight-year-old granddaughter, who had never seen snow.
About Work
The three of us (Diane, Chrisstie, and myself) started this business, and my role has changed drastically over the years. Now we have a large team who are all proficient at what they do. I am now able to depend on the skills and expertise of our team, so that I can take a step back to settle into the golden years.
So, for now, long weekends and early cuts are it, but in the future I expect a lot more freedom to travel, etc. I would never want to give it all away, and intend on being around for the long haul.
