During my training to be an automotive engineer it was natural for me to service and repair cars belonging to friends and family, this spread to neighbours and fellow students.
After moving to Sweden, my first job at SAAB was not so much about service and repairs but more about conversions and modifications. During this period I installed: A large number of air conditioners into diplomatic vehicles, some of the first car phones (that took up half the boot space), handicap conversions and at least 100 cab heaters.
With the move to Volvo Borås and subsequently Saab in Ulricehamn there was a gradual transference to working exclusively with the electrical systems.
The job at Bogma meant travelling worldwide to repair, service, modify and commission wide belt sanders and this job entailed not only mechanical systems but also pneumatics, hydraulics and electrical systems both high and low voltage. I was also required to become conversant with sanding techniques used for different woods and laquers.
After transfering to the engineering dept, I was required to develop new machine systems in the afore mentioned areas.
When Bogma went into liquidation I in effect continued my previous career, now in a company (Tekmo Service AB) I jointly owned with Pentti Virtanen. I devised a custom made administration system for Tekmo based on FileMakerPro software.
Apart from the technical side, I now had to also work with sales, purchasing and finances. After Penttis death I ran Tekmo for almost 8 years on my own and was close to being completely "burned out" and therefore began to search for an alternative.
In 1998 I gained employment as Laboratory Manager at Parker Pneumatics and am currently still holding this position.
This job entails organising prototype build, test and determination of product characteristics and requires contact with both suppliers and customers.
Possibly due to being multilingual, I was given responsibility for the location ISO committee and have in this capacity, and as product trouble shooter, visited most European countries and also USA, Canada, Japan, Egypt, Bahrain and Siberia.
Being fluent in Swedish, English and German, I have translated all manner of technical documentation. Speaking fluent Swedish also gives an understanding of Norwegian and Danish as they are related languages. In my spare time I recently translated a Swedish book about a police dog "Ingo" to English. This exceptional book was written by Per Bökman.
