I married Solveig in 1992 (we’ve been together since 1982!). Together we have two beautiful kids, Simen (2-sep-1994) and Amanda (12-dec-1997).
We live in Risør. Risør is a cultural town, with its wooden boat festival and its famous Risor Festival of Chamber Music
“This cluster of historic white houses built around a small fishing harbour is one of Norway’s most picturesque villages. It’s popular with artists and tourists, and is a summer hangout for Norway’s yachties. Visits to nearby islands can be made by inexpensive water taxis. One such island is Stangholmen, which has an old lighthouse with a restaurant and bar. Risør is on the curving southern coast, south of Oslo.” … Lonely Planet World Guide
“Discovering the Risor Festival of Chamber Music, held in this small coastal town of fishing boats and wood-framed houses situated between two gaping fjords in southeast Norway, is like stumbling upon a fabulous little out-of-the-way restaurant that you are almost reluctant to tell people about for fear it will be overrun and lose its character.” ….
