Based in Axopar’s Vaasa office, in the town where he was born, on the west coast of Finland, Jan-Erik has drawn much of his personal experience and inspiration from the boating community and the rugged, outdoors life and ‘sense of adventure’ that constantly surrounds him.
Even despite having one of the most beautiful, most pure natural environments in the world, it’s the challenge of living in the northern latitudes and coping with the notoriously harsh weather conditions in Finland, particularly in the wintertime, that has partly shaped Jan-Erik into the person he is.
