Roots
I was born and raised in Norway, cradled by its mountains and fjords. Early on, I learned the values of discipline and resilience from my family and the rugged landscape around me. Those roots instilled in me a deep respect for nature and a drive to push my own limits.
Science & Technology
My quest for understanding led me into the world of science and technology. I delved into nanotechnology and quantum mechanics, fields that challenged me to think at both the smallest and the grandest scales. That scientific journey eventually sparked my path in entrepreneurship; learning to turn understanding and creativity into reality.
Discipline & Depth
I also sought tests of body and spirit. I served in the special forces, where discipline and endurance were a daily practice and survival was a very real challenge. In those high-pressure years, I discovered the depths of human willpower, focus, and the power of true camaraderie.
Awakening
Yet for all the external challenges, life’s deepest trials were personal. The loss of my son shattered the world I knew and set me on a path of inner healing and transformation. I turned to spiritual work; long meditation retreats, heart-centered practices, and learnt the deep wisdom of yoga, shamanism, Taoism, eventually discovering a deeper place within, where everything originates. Through surrender and self-inquiry, I experienced a profound awakening that changed how I view life and purpose.
Now
Today, I integrate all these threads — science and spirituality, discipline and compassion into what I’m building. I'm focused on projects and communities that both foster growth and respect and honor death; that build resilience, and appreciate freedom. Whether it's reconnecting people with nature or developing new technologies, everything I work on is about sharing what I've learned on my journey to help others on theirs.
