I grew up in Rodskov and attended a small local school with only the first three classes, so I moved to Hornslet School. I attended High School in Risskov and studied Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics at the University of Aarhus from 1972 to 1979.

In 1979 i received a fellowship and worked for 5 years at CERN in Geneva after which I moved back to Aarhus. Gradually I switched to administrative duties and was until the end of 2023 IT officer at the University of Aarhus.

The first lunar landing in 1969 was a major event in my life - this was the first step towards the stars. In recent years have I have made a minor contribution to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal by reading the material and spotting a few errors.
