Becoming an audiovisual alchemist Christoffer wanted be an actor, so graduated from acting school, went to Hollywood but things didn’t go as well as planned. Shortly later he got involved with the personal development industry, so he attended conferences. A first A-ha moment came when he saw Les Brown live on a first row and stroke him how Brown looked at Christoffer’s eyes and answered a question. Another day he analyzed the room and asked himself: which is the best job in the house? It was the event producer managing the audiovisuals.
