He also won the national championships in the 1920s – most of them with the sabre (1922, 1923, 1925, 1926 and 1928). In his private life, he was an engineer specialising in refrigerator systems. He survived the war years as an inventor of small household appliances. The company he started in 1946 still exists. A bronze statue was unveiled of him at the 2019 Veidemann Festival in Åkrestrømmen culture park in Rendalen municipality.[3]
