When did you get into the hobby?
In the late 80ties, started with 3 ed. WFB

How did you get into the Hobby and what have you been doing since then?
I was introduce to Warhammer at our local Role Playing club. I have since stopped playing role-play, but continued to play Warhammer.

We started running local tournaments in the early start of the 90ties and I have been playing them since, as I like the competitive side of the hobby. Therefore, I have been helping running and making comp/FAQs for tournament for many years. I am also an Administrator on the biggest Danish Warhammer forum, where I have help answer rule questions and help form the Danish community. I was also a part of the old Warhammer Player Society (WPS) and later on TWF. I have been part of the ETC from the start and help start it together with Jedy and a lot of other guys from TWF. I have been to every single ETC as a player for my country, which I am not sure anyone else has. The first comp we used at the ETC, were just what where used in Denmark at the time, comp which I help form. Later as the edition evolved, we need new comp for ETC and I join the ETC AR team for some years and the FAQ team.

Which armies do you play?
I play all armies, as I always felt you needed to play an army to get to know it strength and weakness, which you can then use to our advantage when playing against it with another army. I have some armies I used more than others, which I use have depended a lot on the edition or comp used. Basically, my theory has been to use the army I thought would be best in a given comp system at the time. I have won both the Grand Tournament Final in the UK and the ETC with VC, but have won lots of other tournaments with other armies, like what is now known as SA, DL, VS, DE, SE, EoS, and KoE.

Why do you support the 9th Age project?
I have for years wanted to do such a project, as I thought us, the community, could do a better job than GW at making rules. But until now there was never really support for this.

What is your personal role in the 9th Age project team?
Making rules, reading other people suggestions and help clarify them if necessary, read as much feedback as I have time for on forum.
