At age nine or ten, he journeyed alone to a home for missionary children in Stavanger, Norway. He was educated in Norway, then lived in France for three years, after which he participated in a race across the Atlantic in 1922, which brought him to the United States. He settled finally in Chicago, where he engaged in various occupations. In 1958 he took over the Norwegian weekly newspaper "Viking" and renamed it "Vinland." He and his wife (Ingrid Hermanson) also ran the Vinland Travel Bureau. He was involved in the many Norwegian organizations in Chicago. He wrote articles, short stories, essays, and plays, and published four books: "Deilig er Jorden" (1948), "Calling on Eternity" (1956), "Misjonærens sønn" (1972), and "Misjonærbarna på Korsteig" (1973).
