A passion for flavours have always been with me, and it have taken me all over the world. Started my carrier in a restaurant at age 14, and the food business was my life for the next 7 years in Norway, Germany and the US. After I moved back I ended up pursuing my growing passion for drinks, when I started working for Vinmonopolet. I then moved on to private sector, and a job that gave more posibilities and opportunities. This also combined very well with my studies and writings about beer.I was given the possibility to create and organize a company focusing on my biggest passion, beer. Hard work, open-minded owners and being at the right place at the right time, have resulted in one of the biggest beer importers: Beer Enthusiast Norway.On the side I have started the Nordisc brand, where I do clinics, events and tournaments for hundreds of people a year. After 10 years I wanted some new challenges, and joined Lokalbrygg.no in the end of 2020, Norways first online beer store. This is the start of a very busy, passioned and beer filled adventure!
