PERSONAL INFORMATION
During the summer of 2011 we have completed our move from London to Boston and are settling in well.
As most families with children we spend most of our free time with our children. In addition, we try to
travel as much as we can with the kids as we believe in the positive influence other cultures have on our
children and also to stay in close contact with our families in Sweden and friends. Time permitting, I like to
do sports such as tennis and golf.
