He was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government and Labour from 1965 to August 1969 and October 1969 to 1971, during the cabinet Borten.[1] The hiatus came because he ran for general election in 1969, and incumbent State Secretaries are not eligible for election per the Norwegian Constitution.[2] He did not win a seat in the election, but served as a deputy representative in the Norwegian Parliament from Akershus during the terms 1965–1969 and 1969–1973.[3]
He was a member of Nittedal municipal council for seven terms, 28 years,[4] mayor from 1976 to 1977,[5] a member of Akershus county council and chairman of the regional party chapter. He was also deputy chairman of the national party.[4]
He was board chairman of the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research, Akershus Energi and Fylkeskraft Østlandet, and a board member of the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities. He lived his later life in Dovre,[4] and died in 2009.[5]
