Rickard Hagstrom is originally from Stockholm and has since his teens worked as a chef in Sweden. Having a shared love for Australia, Rickard, his wife Cecilia and their two daughters decided to move to Noosa a year ago. A big reason for the move was so their daughters could get the opportunity to study abroad for a year, the family to gain new experiences, but also so Rickard could participate in the Noosa Triathlon and many more competitions happening on the Sunshine Coast every year.
