I've worked in IT departments since the 1980s. In the early 1990s I was one of the first webmasters in the world. Since then I've designed and implemented a number of commercial and non-commercial websites, most of which are still online.
I have designed, typeset and did lay-out on posters, brochures, books and reports, as well as replicating WW2 documents for use as props in both films and in history re-enactment.
I have written articles for computer magazines, such as PC Magazine and MacWorld. I am co-author of several books on computing hard- and software. As a proofreader I've edited several books. I am presently editor of the Ithrottir, a magazine for Viking re-enactors.
I've worked free-lance in TV-advertising and music videos, making props and, in some cases, as an assistant-producer or location scout. I'm an avid photographer, using both digital and film cameras. As a re-enactor of both Viking and WW2 periods I have acting experience in front of a live audience.
