I design places, and everything that sells them.

Business owner, entrepreneur and engineer. I build homes with Frest Homes and bring AI into companies with Frest Consult.

Films of the places we design and build. Pick one below; it keeps playing while you look around.

About me

Engineer by training. Builder by habit.

I design places, and everything that sells them. Here is why I can do both.

Engineer

Bachelor's in engineering from VIA University College in Denmark, master's degrees from Aalborg University and the Asian Institute of Technology. The one you call when the beautiful drawing refuses to stand up.

Builder

Years in large design-and-build firms, then a management role at a high-tech wood company. In 2017 I founded Frest Homes with private investors in Denmark and have run it since, building in Denmark and other countries.

Deals

I raise private investment for my own companies and for others, and consult investors on private company acquisitions. A balance sheet and a section drawing get the same attention.

Host

Three holiday homes, five units, among the best-occupied in their regions. One paid back its capital in under five years: the design fitted the place, and the marketing told the truth.

Now

Lanzarote, in the spirit of César Manrique, and Frest Consult, where companies hand their paperwork over to AI. Give me fifteen minutes. Worst case, you get a free opinion from an engineer.
