Personal life

He spent his childhood years in the Norwegian village of Seljord, where the family was characterized by their Jehovah's Witness faith. In 1978 he moved to Denmark, where he lived with his father for five years. He then trained as a nurse at Bispebjerg Nursing School in 1987. In 1989 he moved with his wife to Greenland, where they lived for 3 years in Nuuk and later in East Greenland and Langeland. In 2000 he was divorced and in 2004 he returned to Denmark. After reading and writing continuously since the age of 12, he made his debut at the age of 46 with the novel Kalak. He has two children from his first marriage in the 1980s and two from his current marriage.
