Older brother Daniel was already ski jumping, so he felt like he was born into ski jumping, and at a very early age, he thought it was his vocation to be a ski jumper. Facilities didn't exist growing up in northern Norway, so when he was 16 he moved away from his parent's home to a small dorm room in Trondheim. (johannforfang.com)
