{{tag|Swedish}} man, elephant trainer, tourist informer, [[:Category:PHP|php]]-programmer and website developer.  Born 28 October 1959 in Östermalm, Stockholm, and living on the island of Ljusterö in the Stockholm archipelago, 70 km from Stockholm, {{tag|Sweden}}.

[[Wikipedian]] since 30 September 2002.  During summer 2002, I started to contribute to [[Nupedia]] and another Swedish wiki, called [[Susning.nu]], since the [[Svenskspråkiga Wikipedia|Swedish Wikipedia]] was more or less inactive.  After an ad banner was exposed on susning 21 november, I moved to Wikipedia, and brought a number of very active [[editor]]s with me.

My main interests has since then been [[:Category:Biology|biology]], [[:Category:Taxonomy|taxonomy]], and [[:Category:Animals|animal]] related articles such as [[:Category:Zoos|Zoos]], freshwater aquarium [[:Category:Fish|fish]] species, as well as [[:Category:Genealogy|genealogy]] and [[:Category:Ancestry|ancestry]] for Middle Ages biographies of knights, kings, [[:Category:Nobility|Nobility]] and other medieval people.

I belong to the the top 2,500 contributors on [[English Wikipedia]], and I am coordinator for [[wp:Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy|WikiProject Genealogy]] and [[wp:Wikipedia:WikiProject Zoo|WikiProject Zoo]].

I am also user since 2004 at [[Wikispecies]], where I am [[sysop]], [[bureaucrat]] and [[check user]], [[patroller]] at , sysop at [[Wikidata]] and [[Swedish Wikivoyage]] and patroller at [[Dansk Wikipedia|Danish Wikipedia]], [[Norsk Wikipedia|Norwegian Wikipedia]] and [[Wikimedia Commons]].
