Sport has always been a natural part of Patrick’s life. For many years, ball sports took centre stage – handball, basketball, tennis, hockey, golf and especially football. Both as a practitioner and as a committed spectator, sport has been an important part of everyday life.

Over the years, Patrik has completed some 40 marathons and a large number of races at other distances. Today he is mainly active in padel, but continues to run as far as his knees allow.

One memory that stands out is the Ironman in Kalmar in 2010 – an experience that in retrospect is described with both laughter and some surprise. The swim was a challenge in itself, but with willpower, stubbornness and a reliable wetsuit, he made it through the entire race.

New York and Portugal are two places that are particularly close to his heart. Morning walks in Central Park and runs along the coast in Monte Gordo, preferably finished with a cold drink, are simple but precious moments that contribute to quality of life.

Today, Patrik is the CEO of Springtime, where he has the privilege of working with his great interest – combining running, travelling and experiences together with others.
