Niki about himself

I am married to Mette with whom I have two daugthers. Both Mette and I grew up in Odense, but have lived in Hadsund the last nine years. Our surname is due to the fact that I am half Greek. However, my Greek is very limited.

My strengths are:

  • I am positive by nature and hardly breakable.
  • I am good at comprehending complex situations and finding simple concrete solutions to problems.
  • I am curios, I desire to learn and I am aware of developing my skills.
  • I am open-minded.

My weaknesses are:

  • I may lapse into perfectionism.
  • I am not good at letting go of responsibilities and therefore sometimes I take on too many tasks.
  • I work too much.
