About

I'm from Sweden, and via Scotland, the US, I'm now in the United Arab Emirates. By profession I'm a college IT teacher, and I have experience of teaching most subjects, including web design and development, databases, IT strategy, organzational theory, programming, multimedia, video, graphics design, and more.

Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist A lot of my time is taken up by running EmiratesMac, the only registered Apple User Group in the United Arab Emirates. Apple and Macs is what I love, and I'm a Certified Apple Help Desk Specialist, so I practice it as well. Together with my wife Crystal, I take care of the site, arrange the meetings, talk to sponsors and advertisers, do some training, and anything else that needs doing.

We also run some web sites for friends, including a couple of vBulletin forums. We've come to love vBulletin through our work with EmiratesMac.com and we gladly use it for other projects.
