As a city council member since 1986, he stepped in as a mayor in Reykjavík for a few months for his party in 1994 when his party was getting very poor ratings from polls.

He then later became the chairman of SUS, the youth organisation of the Independence Party. His focus in local government on raising standards of primary education and on new high tech and well paid jobs, has been recognised in Iceland. Before taking on the position as Mayor of Reykjanesbær he was the chief executive of the Icelandic Management Association (Stjórnunarfélagið) and the CEO of the IT company Tæknival. He studied Education at the Educational College of Iceland and Public Administration at the University of Tennessee in the United States. References
