Born into a hardcore orienteering family, was sent out into forest at the age of 3. Went to sports school in both middle and high school, and is currently studying mathematics and programming in Oslo because that's where the best training conditions are. Has a personal record of 8:55 on 3000 m, which is thanks to a lifetime of various kinds of hard training. Likes pushing himself way too hard. Has 4 Norwegian championship medals in the junior class as of spring 2016: Silver ultralong 2015, silver relay 2015, bronze - sprint 2016, bronze middle 2014.
