Many years ago I decided to use Guinness Book of Records as a mean to get attention in a very competitive market. I also wanted to show the Danish producers that even if we are a small country, we can do it just as well as the guys in USA and the UK - if we get the same budgets.
First I made a jump from 33 meters into cardboard boxes and got a diploma from Guinness.
Then I made a jump from 104,5 meters into an airbag that I designed myself. This record still stands.
Finally I made a full body burn lasting 2:06 minutes and got my third diploma from Guinness.
Inspired by Tarzan in my youth I had a life full of sports and adventure.
Finally in 1989 I decided to become a stuntman. I went to LA and met a retired stuntman who became my teacher and practiced with me on a one-to-one basis for 3 months. It was the legendary Poul Stader. Only later i discovered that he worked as stunt double for Johnny Weizmuller in the same Tarzan movies that inspired me as a kid !
I started my career in 1991 and since 1995 I have made a living as a professional stuntman and stunt coordinator.
