Business
Since 1997 I have been representing Norwegian companies in Lithuania.  In 2006 I took over the private company UAB Kronen in Vilnius.  The major activity is production of solid wood furniture of pine-tree, birch and other types for the Scandinavian market.  Lithuania is well known in all the world for her high quality and good prices especially on products which requires much hand-operated labour force.  The short geographical distance to Norway and the rest of Scandinavia is also an important reason for Norwegian companies to choose Lithuania as a production country.  We are also assisting other Norwegian companies and institutions with their activities in Lithuania.

Private
In October 1990 I visited Lithuania for the first time. Half a year later I moved to Vilnius, the capital. Since 1991 and until 2002 I worked here as a journalist and editor-in-chief of the Scandinavian magazine about Lithuania, Litauen-Nytt.  

Between 1985 and 1990 I was serving in the Royal Norwegian Air Force at Vardø Air Force Station. During those years I was for 12 months a peace-keeper at the Norwegian United Nation battalion in South Lebanon (at the very time when the UN peace-keeping forces in 1988 were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize).

Between 1982 and 1984 I was working as an officer at the Norwegian Telecom's Coast Radio Service in North Norway.  I have also a background as a meteorological observer.  Between 1980 and 1990 I was a staff member of NIVFO, the Norwegian sister organisation of the CSICOP and got published several books and articles on claims of the paranormal.  Other interests are enclaves and border points.

Favourite hobby is genealogy and I am also keen on local history as well as amateur radio.  My nationality is Norwegian, I grew up at a very beautiful North-Norwegian village.  I am a member of the Norwegian Signal Soldier's Association (Sambandssoldatenes forening).  In 1992 I was married to Rasa, and next year we got a beautiful daughter, Severija Grethe.

I am speaking Norwegian, English, Lithuanian and a little bit German.  Contact me on e-mail or on the address you find in the left frame menu under «Kontakt».
