He studied and graduated from Elverum Teachers' College between 1904 and 1907, and then started his journalistic career. He was also a board member of Norges Socialdemokratiske Ungdomsforbund. He was a subeditor for Solungen from 1907 to 1908 before being editor-in-chief from 1908 to 1909. He was then subeditor in Bratsberg-Demokraten for one year, journalist in Social-Demokraten for one year before becoming editor-in-chief of Sørlandets Social-Demokrat in 1911.
