Who am I?
Born in Trondheim in January 1968, raised in every best ways, anyway, that's what mom & dad say.
Lived my first years on Lademoen in Trondheim. Then we moved to Saupstad, where we stayed for approx. 1/2 year.
In 1974 we moved to Kyrksæterøra. Have lived in Møre og Romsdal for some years before I moved back to Trondheim again,
As you see on the picture to the right, it was clearly at an early stage what my interests was; techical and mechanical devices.
By October -98 Beijer Electronics got hold of me, and so now I work at their office in Trondheim, as a sales engineer.
What do I do?
Beijer Electronics sell Mistubishi PLC frequency converters and servo motors. Beijer also produce operator panels for use in industry.
In my work there are many interesting tasks. Examples:
- Sales to new and existing customers.
- Support to existing customers.
- Programming of smaller and bigger processing units.
- Development of color displays used in controlling and processing.
My hobbies.
Cars are my other passion. It been three Ford's up til now. Got my 1.st at the age of 18. A 1975 Ford Taunus 1,6 Coupè. A year got by and it was no fun no more. I rebuilt it as a 2.3 V6. That was something of the hottest I've ever driven, then. I had the Coupè until after my military duty time. Then I got 1982 Ford Taunus 2.3GLS. It was some customized. It had a 2,8 liter V6, power steering, it was styled styled and pretty to look at. And it had power, lot of it. I had that car for seven years. In 1996 I bought a Ford Sierra Cosworth 4X4. That is something else. You can read about it here.
I had it for 3 years. I then got a car from my company, a Skoda Octavia 1,9 TDI. It was time to buy a motorcycle. So I got a 1989 Suzuki GSX-R750R, only 500 built. But the Skoda got too boring; In 2001 i got a Ford Escort Cosworth, YEAH!
I have always been facinated by aircraft. My grand-dad worked at the Royal Norwegian Air Force Academy. I have, however decided to get my private pilot licence, and very soon, I hope.
To get some "practice",I fly some flight simulators on my PC. It is not near flying for real, but you learn how instruments work, about meteorologi, communication languages, and reading maps etc.
Well, that's just about it. Feel free to have a glimse at the rest of this homepage, maybe you find something interesting, too.
