Born in Norway to a British father and a Norwegian mother, he was approached about the possibility of representing Great Britain ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games in London but chose to focus on breaking into the Norwegian national team. "I was at one gathering [with Great Britain], but then I had a foot inside Norway and wanted more to focus on the Norwegian national team."
