Personal
Hans and his wife, Caroline, have a special place in their hearts for coastal Maine, where Hans raised his family and where he is deeply involved in advocating for the rights of people with disabilities. When time allows, Hans can be found fishing for Atlantic Salmon, chasing a white ball around verdant pastures, or engrossed in books of financial and economic history.
