I was born on the Arctic Cicle in Rovaniemi, Lapland, where I also lived for 30 years. A few years ago I moved to Pirkanmaa, Finland.
Blog
An occasionally updated blog where I deal primarily with critical thinking, political philosophy, creativity, and other scientific and unscientific themes. Content in Finnish.
X (Twitter)
X (formerly Twitter) is Finland's most significant social media for influencers in academia, politics and journalism. I post freely. Content is mostly in Finnish:
LinkedIn is Finland's most important social media for B2B sales, marketing and recruitment. I'm a 2023 candidate to become one of 30 Certified LinkedIn Marketing Experts in the world, and the only one from Finland.

Social and Political Campaigns
I have been planning and conducting various political election campaigns since 2012. I have worked as an ad editor, campaign organizer and elections manager for several candidates and party organizations in Finland.
From 2016 to 2019 I lived in Parkano, Finland (a small town of some 6,200 inhabitants), where I participated in municipal politics and worked for instance as a deputy member of the city council. In the spring of 2019, I was a candidate for Christian Democrats (Finland) / KD in the EU parliament elections where the main theme of my campaign was the work against global climate change.
Since 2019 I'm not a member or permanent supporter of any left-wing or right-wing party. I read about social causes daily and do commentary especially on international politics.

Doctoral Research (currently on hold)
I have been registered as a doctoral (Ph.D) student at the University of Lapland since 2018. As part of my research I follow the progress of the historical recognition of the 1915-1923 Armenian genocide. Follow my academic profile on Academia.edu.
