Where did you grow up, and what brought you to Harrisonburg?

I grew up in Varde, Denmark. I moved to Harrisonburg in 2010 to join Rosetta Stone Labs

How does your faith happen in your daily life?

There are no deities in my life, but I have faith that I can navigate the blooming, buzzing confusion and sometimes make meaningful changes and be stoic, when I can't.

What is a fun fact about you that may surprise people?

That I was baptized in the 800-year-old St Jacobi Church (Lutheran, like most churches in Denmark).

What’s the most inspiring part of your job?

That I get to serve the community instead of the stockholders and occasionally get to listen to pipe organ music while working.

Ask me about:

My beer brewing or my band Motorsofa

My favorite word in the English language is:

“Smorgasbord”

If I could invent a holiday, it would definitely involve:

Everybody being off work and all shops closed, the tv and the internet turned off, so we can focus on the other things.

If we held a talent show, I’d wow everyone:

With playing My Funny Valentine on my toy piano.
