As a Norwegian, you might say fishing is in my blood. I've been throwing lines into rivers, lakes, and ponds since I was a kid. As a young man, our family fishing destination of choice was often Buoy 10, to and around the CR Buoy, trolling for salmon.

It was in 2009 that my fishing life changed when I met Randy Kane who invited me to fish on his team for the Ilwaco Oregon Tuna Classic. When I hooked my first albacore tuna, the dark side of the Pacific Ocean found me.

After getting hooked on tuna and deep-sea fishing over and over again through the years, in 2019 I pursued my charter captain’s license and began chartering trips from Captain Randy’s boat Meanwhile Charters. And that was the year the team I formed for the Ilwaco Oregon Tuna Classic, brought home the title of first place.

Now, I'm addicted to the ocean and I can't wait to get you hooked, too!

Along with fishing, I grew up hiking, snowboarding, camping, dirt biking, hunting, and enjoying all that the Pacific Northwest outdoors has to offer. At age 19 I made the decision to enlist in the U.S. Army National Guard (M.O.S. 45 Bravo) as a small arms artillery repair technician.

My wife Jamie and I have been married since 2005 and raise our dog and 7 chickens from our little homestead in Beaverton, Oregon. In 2022, with open arms we welcomed our baby girl into the world and our family after 8 years praying for her. Our hearts are overflowing, even though that may mean I fish a little less these days.
