Other

In my personal life, I am married to Mia, whom I've been together with since 2006.

In my spare time, I follow general developments in the technology world, always trying to stay up to date with web development techniques.

I am also a great football (soccer) fan, following my beloved Chelsea and Brøndby very closely.

When I want to listen to music, whether it be for pleasure or to focus on a task at hand, I turn to hip hop.
