Mika Koponen
Kotka
Finland, Europe
Project Engineer.
Master of Science.
Age: 28. Single.
I was born in April 1967 in a small town Lieksa
located in eastern Finland. There are 18.000 inhabitants
in Lieksa and its economy is based on a paper mill,
couple small works and agriculture.
After spending my childhood in Lieksa, I moved to
Lappeenranta to study industrial engineering and
management. During 1988 - 1993 I completed my Master's
degree at the Lappeenranta University of Technology. My
main subject was logistics and production management. I
did my Master's Thesis for Kaukas Oy, subsidiary of one
big Finnish forest product company, Kymmene Corporation.
Currently I am a project engineer in Oy Finnterminals Ab,
one part of Kymmene Corporation's logistics group. My
office is now located in Kotka at our head-office.
In my free time I enjoy sports like badminton, squash,
tennis, slalom and cross-country cycling.
I like to be on
the bosom of nature and fishing
and hunting in the fall
season has a special part in my
heart (a little too big
one in mv qirl friend's opinion)
