Karlstad, Sweden is the home of me and my family. My beautiful wife Ann, our girls (Lisa and My) and our dog Elmer live here in a nice neighbourhood with many good friends. Anders, who is 23 by now, has left home and lives together with Susanne in Karlstad.When not working, I enjoy playing Boule Petanque and to relax with a really good, hand made cigar. (My favourite is the cuban Montecristo #2)

I have been working with computers since 1980. I was there when the first PC's hit Sweden and I also worked with the Apple Mac in the mid 80's.

My own company (Turedata AB) was founded in 1990, and today I work mostly with education and consulting. Microsoft Office and Excel in particular is my specialty and I am an MCP on Excel and also on Microsoft Windows 3.1. For my contributions and advice to fellow Excel users on the Internet, For the period 1997 - 2003, I have been awarded the "MVP title" by Microsoft, for which I am very proud and happy. I am glad to be one of very few people in the world who have received this prestigous award from Microsoft.
