He graduated from upper secondary school in 1922, and worked as a teacher in Larvik from 1923 to 1925. In 1929 he graduated with the cand.theol. degree from the MF Norwegian School of Theology.

Having been imprisoned by the German occupants from 1943 to 1945, first in Espeland concentration camp from September 1943 to January 1944 and then Grini concentration camp until the war's end, he moved on to become chaplain in Bergen in 1946. He was appointed vicar in Eidanger in 1957.[1][2]
He served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway from Bergen during the terms 1950–1953, 1954–1957, and 1958–1961. He met during 35 days of parliamentary session.[3] On the local level he was a member of the executive committee of Eidanger municipal council from 1960 to 1963.[1]
