In 1799, he became priest at the village Våle in Re, Vestfold.[2] He worked as a vicar in Botne Church near Holmestrand in Vestfold from 1802.[3] He married Elisabeth Sophie Neumann, whose family was active in the management of Hassel Ironworks (Hassel jernverk) at Skotselv in Eiker. They were the parents of ten children and grandparents of the Director-General of the Norwegian State Railways System, Hans Hein Theodor Nysom.[2]
He was elected to the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814, representing the city of Holmestrand.[4] He left politics after this. In memory of his participation at Eidsvoll, a monument honoring him was raised in Holmestrand during 1914.[3]
