Michel Anders, after completing his chemistry and physics studies, where he spent more time on computer simulations than on real world experiments, he realized that his real interests lay with IT and Internet technology. He has worked as an IT manager for several different companies, including an Internet provider and a hospital.

Currently he manages the R&D department of Aia Software—a leading developer of document composition software. He lives happily on a small, converted farm with his partner, 3 cats, and 12 goats.

He has been using Blender since version 2.32, although he will be the first one to acknowledge his artwork is naive at best. He loves to help people with Blender and Python-related questions and may be contacted as "varkenvarken" on blenderartists.org.
