{geni:about_me} Renowned carpenter, artist (woodcarver), farmer, and entrepreneur. Initially, he bought the farm Akerjordet in Boverdalen, Lom, and later on a farm in Romsdal. Afterwards he returned to Skjak where he bought the farm Gjeilo (Northern Gjeilo), which he developed from scratch. Like his father, Tore was energetic, e.g. needing less sleep than others. (Ref. "Skjaak 1966", Skjåk kommune 1966, pp. 155-156)
