Johannes was born in Denmark but spend most of his childhood and teenage years between New York and Warsaw Poland where he and his brother attended the American School of Warsaw, after which the family moved to Charlotte North Carolina where Johannes graduated high school from Ardrey Kell High School. He was full of adventure and traveled the world, visiting countries throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. He was a skilled pool player, and together with his younger brother and their friends loved skateboarding as well as snowboarding on Mt. Hood outside Portland Oregon while they both attended college there. He loved music and enjoyed playing guitar, both base and classical guitars, as well as piano.

Johannes loved to take pictures of nature. Often when we were out driving, he would ask us to stop so he could take a picture of an exceptional colorful sunset or in our garden he would crawl around to get close-up images of insects and flowers to appreciate the fine details up close.

He enjoyed cooking with an emphasis on presentation always trying to make the dishes look like what you would see in fine dining magazines.

Johannes was a warm and gentle soul that always put other people's interest before his own.
