Asgaut Olsen Regelstad was born at the farm Nådå on Finnøy in Rogaland, Norway. He was raised on the neighboring Reilstad farm. He was the eldest of four children born to Ole Asgautsen (1764-1773) and Anna Reiersdatter (1736-1775). He was a farmer on Reilstad in Finney. He was also sheriff of Finney from 1816 to 1823.

He represented Stavanger amt (now Rogaland) at the Norwegian Constituent Assembly together with Lars Andreas Oftedahl and Christen Mølbach.
