He served as the first County Governor of Nordre Trondhjems county from 1805 until 1815.[1] During his time as County Governor, he lived at Gudmundhus in Verdal. In late 1814, when the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway was dissolved and the Kingdom of Norway was joined in a personal union with Sweden, he announced his resignation. In 1815, he left Norway and moved back to Denmark. He became a government official in Randers for a time and then later was a judge in Nørhald, Støvring, Galten municipalities.[2]
