Born in 1974, grew up at the farm Hønsi in Vik i Sogn, Norway.
Educated in Geology at the University of Bergen. I worked as a mudlogger on the oil rigs in the North Sea from 2000 to 2003. In November 2003 I was employed at Vik IT-Partnar AS where I did various computer-related tasks, mostly web developing and design. In September 2005 I started again working as a mudlogger, but went back to Vik IT-Partnar in 2007. In 2006 I wrote the computer program Highslide JS, which I currently develop and sell through my company Vevstein Web.
One of my hobbies is local history, and I was working at Vik lokalhistoriske arkiv in the summers 1996-2000 in addition to the related work I have done in my own interest.
I lived in Bergen until the spring of 2002 when I bought an old house at Voll in Vik, and spent my off time in 2002 and 2003 remodeling the house. Now I live there with my wife, Eli.
