Responsibility Founder of EuroVisionary, Journalist, editor and member of the managing group

I live in North Jutland, Denmark. My interest in the Eurovision Song Contest started in 1984 when Kirsten pushed Søren into the swimming pool in the Danish final. I fell in love with the song and had to see them in the international final. Here I saw three good-looking Swedish brothers win the whole thing. I was no longer just a Kirsten & Søren or Herreys fan; I had become a Eurovision fan – and I have been that ever since.

Previously, I have been politically active, and I now active with geneology.

I am trained first as a teacher, and later as Social Media Manager. Next to EuroVisionary, I work part time as marketing responsible for a webshop.
