I guess that by and large I´m a self trained man. I started to play bass at the age of 19, since i figured it was the easiest instrument to play. How wrong I was. But the bass has one advantage. You can start to play with othere people as soon as you can play a fundamental bassline. I was offered to play with a trio shortly after I had begun to play. So in many ways I learned how to play the bass on stage. I learned as I went along. Poor ppl in the audinence.

Around the same time i started to work a local PA and electronics firm Gothenburg Sound AB. The owner Urmas Plunt was a great teacher. Thanks Urmas.

Today i divide my time between:

• Playing upright and electric Bass at the Gothenburg city theater. You can se and hear me at the Lunch shows.
•  Hardware and service for Viker Data AB This company produces software for Landsurvey instruments.
•  Service of Studio Bauhaus equipment
•  Service of Hammond organs and Leslie cabinets.
