Biography
Siim Luts embodies the spirit of a dedicated domestic league professional. While many of his contemporaries sought careers abroad, Luts carved out a significant legacy at home in Estonia.

1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
