Who am  I? I am an outdoor man with an academic back-ground who lives on the Jongården homestead, a västerbottensgård on the island of Holmön, together with the twins Fanny and Nelly, who is in high school and commute on a weekly basis to Umeå. The older kids Irina and Nadja have left for their own living and my wife Tora passed away in cancer in 2010. I also have a cat and a bee farm on the homestead. 

Work I am Associated Professor in Analytical Chemistry with employment at Umeå University. If you want to know what I'm doing at work, click here.
This is what I keep myself occupied with!  Besides my work, Damina, my own company, is an important parts of my life.

The activities at Damina are focused on environmental issuses where I do measurments, investigations and education. On Holmön focus are on transports, fishing, bee-farming, open sea kayaking and experience tourism, along with various development projects on the island. Ringarna på vattnet (inSwedish) and Holmöns Framtidsfolk(in Swedish) are two projects that were finalised some time ago. 

During summertime I arrange fly fishing for grayling in the sea, seal watching, boat excursions to Stora Fjäderägg, a lighthouse island, and other islands. Rent a canoe/kayak and paddle off on your own adventures. 

During wintertime I arrange snow mobile safaris, skiing tours and fishing trips with ice angling, and pick-nick on the ice.
