About me

I have more than ten years experience in BI and I have followed the BI part of SQL Server since SQL Server 7 and OLAP Services. I received the honour of being MVP/SQL on the 1:st of October 2008. This only means one thing, more hard work. I live in Malmö, the city at Öresund next to Copenhagen. It is the home town of Zlatan for those of you who knows about soccer. We here in Malmo simply says that Zlatan is Zlatan what ever he does. He makes art on the football pitches. I work with BI-design, practical ETL/SSIS, SSAS2005, SSRS2005 and end user tools on this platform. Before my years in the information technology I also have seven years experience in banking/finance as a BI consumer. My blog list includes only the best resources where you can find links to interesting blogs. I read many great BI blogs but I am a little lazy with maintaining a long blog roll. Chris Webb and Vidas sites covers all blogs that I read.
Interests
BI, running, soccer and golf. Good cousine and good wine.
