After 3 years I graduated with honors and decided to return to Finland and join our family clothing company as a sourcing manager.

Two years of pro-atheletes life was enough for me and I decided to return to "real" life and Finland in 1997 to work in our family company and play in a club-team and the Finnish National team.

Currently I am Sales Director in our company and have a beautiful wife with 3 smart and gorgeous children.
