Introduction (Long)

[Daniel Louis Grabko (Dan)]

I am an American expatriate living and working in Sweden (Gothenburg)

I am 31 years old (D.O.B. 1980-07-24) and have been a Blackburn Rovers supporter since I was nine, starting to follow the Club after discovering them on a late night English Football Highlight Show centered on the play-off matches to the First Division. The only way to follow them then was through newsgroups and such on a fledgling internet in the very early nineties. I have since been to Ewood Park twice, the first time making the trip as a 17 year old all alone in 1997, as well as going to away matches at Goodison and Elland Road that year, meeting great people and receiving unbelievable selfless hospitality. I had the honor of being given a tour of Ewood Park by the great Ronnie Clayton. I have been a member of the BRFC mailing list almost since its inception just before the Premier League triumph, and used to be an active member of the official site, back when Lee Grooby ran it.

I have an education from a private Catholic university in Minneapolis MN, USA called The University of Saint Thomas Aquinas. I graduated with honors in 2004 with bachelor degrees in financial accounting and business administration as well as the German language.

I worked for 4 years as a financial statement auditor (Firms include Larson Allen LLP and Moss Adams LLP) before taking a Senior Government Grant Compliance Officer position for a large not-for-profit organization called Father Joe's in San Diego, California in 2008. I met my Swedish Wife while she was on vacation in San Diego, and ended up following my heart to Sweden in 2009. I am currently the Finance Director at a small/medium sized tech-sales company called Jobtip Services AB based in Gothenburg Sweden. I am actually featured on their website media in several photos if you want to know what I look like (blonde guy with red tie). I have a 1 month old son and a 21 month old daughter.
