He became a merchant seaman and stayed in that trade until he and a member of his fellow crewmen jumped ship because it was in such an unsailable condition. After jumping ship outside of Savannah, Georgia, he went on to Chicago. Robert Ryerson then paid his fare from Chicago to Valley City. He went to work for John Ellingsen for a wage of $25.00 a month. That was where he met Berthea Ellingsen, whom he was later destined to wed. They were married by a judge, in Fargo, in 1903. They continued to live at the Ellingsen farm and shortly thereafter John Ellingsen and the remainder of his family moved to Valley City. Sven and Berthea continued to farm the Ellingsen homestead. It was here that two of their eight children, Clara and Hjalmer, were born. In 1908, Sven moved his family to Valley City. He worked at the Russell Miller Milling Co. for a number of years. While in Valley City, four more children, Florence, Emma, Barney and Emil, were born. In 1917 Sven finally decided to settle down in Sanborn.
