K-13:
I was born and brought up in Sundsvall,
Sweden and therefore attended
Swedish public schools from K-13:th grade. My years from 10-13
had
a focus on the "Natural Sciences" (Math, Physics, Chemistry Biology).
It
was upon graduation from this level of studies I came to the U.S. and
Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN.
COLLEGE:
I enrolled at Austin Peay State University in the fall of 1992 and completed the degree in 3.5 years with a December 1995 graduation.
While at APSU I managed the school's TV production facility in the capacity of its Chief Production Supervisor and producer for the weekly cable show AP Magazine - for which I also was both reporter and host whenever needed. I completed an Video Production Internship with (then) Crown Cable (now Charter Communications) in the summer of 1994.
I was the Production Manager for the University's radio station WAPX-FM. I was also one half of the on-air host team as well as co-producer for the radio station's morning show called Morning Madness (6am-9am)
I also wrote as a journalist staff writer for the school's news paper The All State and was a writer for the school's semi annual magazine The Capsule.
