WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Venice of Scandinavia; Stockholm, Sweden.

WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

I started out in dives and clubs, worked my way up, learning the grounds at Marie Laveau/Little Quarter. But mostly got trained at Linje Tio/Tjoget where I'm the Bar Manager today.

FAVORITE BARS?

Happiness Forgets, London; Attabay, NYC; Strøm, Copenhagen. In Stockholm I love Corner Club and Svartengrens.

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Well I've got Rock 'n' Rye tattooed on me. But for the moment it's an Americano.

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

Winning rematch. Definitely. That was hardcore!

Ever done it on a bar?

Not an open one...

What's next for you?

Wow, Linje Tio has a lot of projects going on. We're travelling the world, writing books, shooting movies and always trying to be ahead of ourselves. Next up for me? All above and more.

Best/worst chat up lines you've heard at a bar?

Guest: 'I'm gonna kill you' Me: 'What?!' Guest: 'Kidding, wanna sleep with me tonight?' Me: 'Rather you kill me'  

Tell us a secret or something we don't know?

I'm afraid of heights and I'm ticklish. And also aggressive. If you tickle me, I'll snap.

If you were to make a barchick cocktail, what would you put in it?

Peace Love Respec... god I'm a douche.

How do you like your Martini?

Stirred with orange bitters and olive. Big measures. I tend to shut this drink.

What did you want to be as a kid?

I wanted to be a chef. I've always felt that most of my creativity sits in my hands. Rockstar as well, of course.
