His younger brother started before him at Oppdal Curlingklubb and played with Markus Hoiberg (NOR). At age 12 his father pulled him from an early, solitary, “film geek” lifestyle and pushed him to try the sports his brothers were involved in. “Curling seemed to work the best.” (Athlete, 2 Jan 2022)
“I like all the technicalities and all the co-operation of team play. It’s a really nice combination, a really good mix of a lot of things.” (Athlete, 2 Jan 2022)
“If we have our perfect week in Beijing we might be able to win those medals, but I think statistically those odds decline every year.” (Athlete, 2 Jan 2022)
All team members have full-time jobs, leaving practice sessions for evenings after dinner – four team sessions per week and another four individually.
Winning gold at the 2015 World Mixed Championship in Bern, followed by making their first Grand Slam of Curling final in 2015 (Regina), losing to Brad Gushue (CAN). "Both were really good weeks. It was just instinct, everything was flowing, everything was just magic.” (Athlete, 2 Jan 2022)

“I think I tend to have an OCD, a repetitive thing like a lot of curlers or sports people in general. It’s the opposite now from juniors, now I try to not allow myself to do that.” (Athlete, 2 Jan 2022)
“It’s probably something process-based. When I play with Magnus (Nedregotten) or Markus (Hoiberg) they are very technically minded and gifted. I’m more feel-based. I’ve had games where I was technically flawless but if I’m not feeling it, I play like s**t.” (Athlete, 2 Jan 2022)
Ambassador of Oppdal (2016)
