Espoo
"Versatile, skilled – makes things happen."
I hold a Master’s degree in Business Administration, am a vocational school teacher, and a teacher of technical subjects. I have over 20 years of experience in the education field across different levels. I am married and the father of three young adults. In my free time, I enjoy the archipelago, where I relax through various tasks at the cottage.
I want to place the future in the hands of healthy, young adults who possess knowledge, motivation, and initiative for innovation and entrepreneurship. Therefore, I want to work towards ensuring adequate support in our schools and promoting favorable conditions for businesses to thrive.
A thriving Espoo is built on a vibrant economy and healthy people.
