He was the winner of the gold medal in the modern pentathlon in the 1932 Summer Olympics.
He served during World War II as the Swedish Naval Attaché in London. His enciphered cables to his government were treacherously passed on to the Germans by a code clerk in Stockholm who deciphered them, becoming a major source of naval intelligence to the Nazi regime.
