He/him. I grew up in Norway and moved to the US as an adult. I've been writing my entire life, but never really considered publishing anything until around 2019.
I'm currently working on two different science fiction series, and I also have at least one historical fiction story brewing inside me.
To pay the bills I've been working in IT for much of my adult life, but have also tried my hand at working as an envelope stuffer, a store clerk, a photojournalist, a bakery van driver, a mail room clerk, an actor, a mainframe operator, a museum founder, a solar energy financing advisor, a business consultant, and as the CEO of a phone company.

Sojourner: Live will never the same. Nor will death.
An imaginative thriller about first contact, survival, and the nature of reality.
When an intelligent alien spaceship arrives in our solar system, no one on Earth notices. Not until brilliant hacker Mazie G stumbles across a surprisingly skillful intruder in her employer’s computer systems, and sets to work uncovering their identity.
What she discovers takes her breath away. When she informs her employer, she finds herself ensnared in a web of secrets that could threaten the future of humanity. In a race against time, she tries to understand what the alien intruder wants before events spin out of control.
If you enjoy movies like Contact and Arrival, or stories such as Arthur C. Clarke’s Rama series, then Sojourner is the book for you.
Cradle of Oblivion (Gods of Distant Suns Book 1)
Aliens have been watching us. For a very long time.
What if the secrets of the universe were hidden in an alien computer, and the fate of humanity rested on the shoulders of a small group of adventurers and scientists?
After a sub-orbital mishap, adventurers Thurgood Jane and Kii Brockheart join a team of scientists in a remote corner of Antarctica. They make a startling discovery: an alien computer that has fallen to Earth. As they race to uncover the secrets of the extraterrestrial technology, they realize that the crash was a deliberate act of first contact.
This is the thrilling premise of Cradle of Oblivion, the first book in the Gods of Distant Suns series. It brings you along on the ultimate adventure: to encounter a truly alien sentience.
With treachery and discovery woven together in a thought-provoking narrative, this action-packed science fiction novel will keep you on the edge of your seat.
If you enjoyed the adventure of Andy Weir's The Martian, the alien technology of The Expanse by S.A. Corey, and the camaraderie of Omega Force by Joshua Dalzelle, you'll love Cradle of Oblivion.
