About Me
Acting/Talent Experience:
My insatiable curiosity and engaging personality on camera have won the hearts of local, national, and international audiences. I competed in the Norwegian reality show Alt For Norge, 2013. National Doritos/Xbox One Shark Feeding Frenzy commercial, 2013, Shark expert in the Webisode Series Tanks to the Ocean-Sharks, 2014. I am not just a spokesman or personality; I am a working scientist collaborating on local national & international conservation projects. For more work examples see My Links.
Am I affiliated with unions?:
No
A major event in my life was:
Last year I suddenly lost my older middle sister just before I was to embark on a milestone event. I was returning to Norway to meet my ancestral family. She was a big part of my life and what really sticks with me over all these years was all the travels we shared as a family each summer nationwide. With every adventure we would discover new animal life together under every overturned rock and tidepool. I am driven to this day to continue to explore the world and love wildlife in her memory.
