From 1934 he edited Allers Familiejournal.[2]
He chaired the local Conservative Party branch in Hamar, and was a member of Hamar city council from 1925 to 1928, and was elected to the Parliament of Norway from the constituency Market towns of Hedmark and Oppland counties in 1927 and 1930.[2]
He chaired Oplandenes Press Association from 1916 to 1920, and was a board member of the Norwegian Press Association from 1918 to 1919 and 1922 to 1925; also of the Norwegian News Agency from 1922 to 1932[2] as well as the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.[5] He was a member of Riksteaternemnda and from 1937 to 1946 he was a supervisory council member of Nationaltheatret.

During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany he was arrested by the Nazis on 29 November 1940. He was imprisoned in Møllergata 19 until 17 March 1942, then in Grini concentration camp until his release on 3 February 1943.[6] After being released he returned as editor of Allers, but was in August 1943 relieved of the job by the Nazi Press Directorate. He returned to the editor's chair after the occupation's end in 1945.[2] He died in 1957.[5]
