Bengan has dedicated his whole life to skiing and living in the mountains. Born in Norrland, skiing since a toddler, he made skiing his lifestyle. He spent 20 seasons in Riksgränsen where his reputation as the guy who opened Nordals north face most times. Back then on his 210 cm giant slalom skies and as many hikes as possible during a day.
To make some money Bengan became the legendary "Bengan in the bar", at Grönan the famous and only bar in Riksgränsen. In 2000 he moved to Åre and continued his skiing dedication on all the peaks there.
