The Story Behind OTORUS®
OTORUS® was born from a lifelong curiosity about energy, technology, human potential and the unseen patterns that shape our experience.
Its founder, Olav, began exploring these ideas at a young age. At six, he became fascinated by magic, psychology, hypnosis, hypnotherapy, sleight of hand and illusion.
By the age of seven, he was already performing as a close-up magician. This early world of perception and illusion encouraged him to look beyond what is immediately visible and to question how attention, belief and frequency influence the way people experience reality.
At fourteen, Olav reached a personal insight that would become a guiding principle throughout his life: fear is often the greatest barrier between people and the life they want to live. From that moment on, he adopted a philosophy that continues to inspire his work:
“Face Your Fears And Live Your Dreams.”
That mindset led him into professional jet-ski racing, where he spent more than twenty years competing at the highest level. While racing in the United States, Olav met a Native American mentor who introduced him to traditional perspectives on plants, energy and the bioelectrical and magnetic qualities found in living systems. This experience deepened his interest in frequency and the connection between nature, technology and personal wellbeing.
Alongside his sporting career, Olav also built a strong technical foundation. Between the ages of nineteen and twenty-four, he completed his studies and became a computer network and security engineer. He developed expertise in data sequences, wireless networks and system architecture, was involved in early Bluetooth wireless-network rollouts, and founded PDA Magic.
At twenty-eight, Olav launched his own professional jet-ski race team and became a Yamaha Motors factory rider. He later co-founded Skullcandy Headphones BNL and the Thrill-Seeker Extreme Sports platform, supporting athletes, organising events and helping build communities around action sports.
His work also expanded into sales, marketing, public relations and brand strategy. Olav collaborated with established brands and organisations to develop market strategies, build visibility and create meaningful connections between brands, athletes, influencers and audiences.
Across every chapter of his life — from magic and racing to engineering and entrepreneurship — one theme remained constant: a desire to understand frequency and explore how technology can be designed with intention.
OTORUS® brings these worlds together. It is the result of Olav’s personal journey through creativity, performance, technical innovation and a lifelong search for balance, connection and possibility.
