He was born in Trondheim, finished his secondary education in 1950 and graduated with the cand.jur. degree in 1957.

He was a consultant for the County Governor of Nordland from 1967 to 1971, auxiliary judge in Romsdal District Court from 1971 to 1974 and head clerk for the County Governor of Møre og Romsdal from 1974 to 1977.[1]

From 1977 to 2001 he was the district stipendiary magistrate in Inderøy. He was replaced by Rolf Karset after turning 70 years.[1][2] He was also an extraordinary presiding judge in Frostating Court of Appeal.[1] In 1995 he applied, unsuccessfully, for the position as Governor of Svalbard.[3]
