Jan Sejlund was born in Denmark in 1964 and moved to the United States in his 20s. Most of Jan’s childhood was spent outdoors, on the farms, and having a pleasant time with animals. His early teen years were spent riding and caring for his horse. Regardless of the peaceful, perfect childhood, Jan felt trapped in other areas of his life. The way the entire system worked didn’t quite well sit with him and made him feel trapped, which affected his self-esteem.

Then came the introduction to America, which was nothing less than a new life beginning. America felt like home, but that was not it. Shifting from one job to another was difficult, especially moving to Alaska to work as a commercial fisherman.

But it was not all smooth, during the way came the tough financial crises as well. After much struggle, Jan found the ideal job fit for his soul in Oregon in 1998. He now lives with a large family in the USA. After going through a long journey of success and disappointment, he is satisfied and considers himself to be fortunate for all that he had to endure and all that he has now.
