Overview

I started my esports journey back in the early 2000's as a forum moderator for professional players, while working on my own gaming skills. In 2001 i started my first business, a internet café (one of the first in Norway). Besides from having my own business i now had access to a strong computer and internet. At the launch of Warcraft 3 i quickly became a manager/player with some of the strongest players in Norway/Europe. From this i learned that my skills were more in management/coaching and i started helping out teams/players in several titles over the coming years. In 2010 i started my first esports org and GamersLeague eSports was brought to life. In GamersLeague i was in charge of everything esports/team related and budgets. We quickly became the best team in Norway and also started performing on the international stage in Starcraft 2, Hearthstone and Dota 2. In 2011 i also got Coca-Cola Norway involved in esports and started the GamersParadise tournament league. I was in charge of this league and development for 3 years before moving on. This league is now the biggest national league and is named Telia Ligaen. In 2016 i got an opportunity to start my own esports school program and work full time with that. It quickly became the most popular program in our school and i started helping other schools get their programs going. Now i teach and advice in 2 different schools as a specialist when time allows me to. As 2019 came along i was able to launch another esports project as i created and funded SKADE with local investors. This time i set out to show people what i could build with players that others had written off. I'm a firm beliver in bringing out the best in people by providing them a great working environment, safety and structure. Now, a bit more than 3 years down the road we have our proof. We took a group of talented CSGO youngsters from unknown to top 20 in the world, won PUBG tournaments and have been to back to back world championships in Call of duty mobile.

My achievements

I am extremely proud of my track record for creating and actually realizing concepts and projects. Another thing that brings great pride to me is having helped students who others/society had given up on find their way into a active work life. I always thrive when people i work with start achieving their true potential, no matter what field.

I am looking for

My dream job would be in a company that is not afraid to have big visions. A company that puts faith into their workers and strives to always stay on top of their game. Solid economic control and structure to make sure everyone engaged has stability and safety is key.

I do not consider

I would not relocate to a active conflict zone and i would need set budgets/frames to work within.
