  I started in this industry in 2008, Studied hotel and bar operations in Hotel school in Switzerland. Worked my way up with my own cafe at 23, then with my education went from being a waiter and bartender at over 20+ businesses in 6 countries, then moved to Iceland for 14 years. My last job was as Hotel manager at one of Icelands finest tourist destination and restaurant Perlan. The most fulfilling years during this time was a bartender, picked up the art from some of the best bartenders from Copenhagen and Japan while working at some fine bars. Hamar is where I settle down and build a cocktail culture and share with all. Apothekeria is where I experiment with cocktails and push boundaries.
