My Martial Art CV

My Background/history:
I was born in Finnmark in a small place called Hønseby in June 1962. Hønseby is a fjord at the island Seiland, Hønseby is about 13 Nautical Miles from Hammerfest.

Me, my two sisters and our mother lived together with our "Great Grandparents", our father was at that time a seaman, sailing around the world.
We lived there until I was 6 years old, then we moved to Målselv, Storjord to our "Grandfather". This because my mother did not like me to start school in Finnmark where we would have to live at the school for at least a week at the time.  So in Målselv I just go to school during daytime, and for the first 4-5 years I was only every second day at school.

So I went to Olsborg skole(school) for nine years.  But after elementary school I moved to Tromsø for highschool/college where I studied electronics for tree years.
After this I moved back to Hønseby to start working for and with my father at "El-Mek & Co", but at the same time I also worked in Hammerfest as Instructor for Hammerfest Karate & Ju-jitsu klubb.

After almost a year later I had to travel south, to do my military first service. Then after recrouting school and some months at school in a navybase in west-side of Norway I transfered north to do the rest 9 month service.

During my service in Harstad I was involved in Harstad Karate club and Harstad Taekwon-Do club. After my first military service I joined UN and became a UN-soldier in UNIFIL, South Lebanon.

In 1985/86 I started a Martial Art Groupe in Rørvik, I had classes in a small gymstudio and had to split into a male and a female groupe because of lack of space.

After UNIFIL I worked as an electrician in Hønseby and Alta, then as Service manager for a telecom firm in Hammerfest.  Moved to Lakselv because my fiancèe ended up ther after finnishing her education as technician on military aircraft. I worked as technician at "Hjelpemiddelsentralen i Finnmark".

Then I finally decided to go to school to become an engineer and I ended up up here in Tønsberg.

I went to Tønsberg Maritime College in Tønsberg and study Maritime Electro/Automation for 2 years and finnished the 3th year at Bakkenteigen, Horten at the new Vestfold College. I then was looking for jobs for 1 year, and at the same time I study Data at Østfold College for 6mnd.

Then I was hired as Senior Engineer at Vestfold College at Nautical Department.

After tree and a half year at the College I was offered a job as Technical Director at Norwegian Partners Marine AS.
This was a very interresting job with Russia as area.
Then I moved to Kongsberg Maritime AS to work as Field Service Engineer

But after some year I got tiered of driving all the way up to Kongsberg and changed to Rambøll Oil&Gas in Sandefjord.

I  was headhunted by Manpower Professional Engineering at the end of March 2007. And them hired me out to Grenland Group Technology(GGT). It is very interessting work, we are converting an old single-hull oil tanker into FPSO.

In september 2008 I started working for Kongsberg Maritime Engineering AS
