After school, he worked in a bakery delivering bread, as a gardener, and for one of the biggest tanneries in Norway. He also fulfilled his compulsory military service in the army. He left Norway aboard the "Bergensfjord" on July 22, 1923 and took the train from New York straight to Tacoma, where a cousin met him.
