WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Born and raised in the northern part of Stockholm/Sweden, today I live in the city.

WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

I was the bar manager at Corner Club. I've worked for Grupp F12 for 3 years and for Stureplansgruppen. Now I'm at Penny & Bill in Stockholm.

FAVORITE BARS?

I absolutely love Attaboy, Little Branch and Dutch Kills when I'm in New York. Happiness Forgets is a great bar. When it comes to Sweden/Stockholm I like to hang out at Tjoget, Marie Laveau/Little Quarter and Lydmar Hotel.

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Margarita on the rocks. A Manhattan variation is always nice.

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

I was invited to go on the Miller Music Tour. That was just freaking gnarly. We had a private Jet, DJ on board, we had police escorts, Luxury hotels, VIP passes everywhere. They really made us feel like Stars.

Ever done it on a bar?

Not on the top.

What's next for you?

I have a dream that I'll one day be a owner/co-owner, it's my next step. I don't know when that will happened but I'm not stressed about it.

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

I hate flying ! But I love to travel, so I do a few exercises before =)

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

"All the way up" 40 ml Martell VS 20 ml Carpano classico 10 ml Branca Menta 2,5 ml Edmond Briottet Violette Stir and serve in a chilled coupe. Lemon zest. Enjoy!

How do you like your Martini?

I like it wet! Plymouth, Dolin dry, lemon zest.

What did you want to be as a kid?

A professional tennis player.
