About Stephen “Thor” Thorgerson
I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran, serving 8 years. It was the USMC
where I received my nickname of “Thor” and have gone by it ever since. I have a 13-year-old daughter named Olivia, who is falling in love with axe throwing one tournament at a time. I have a beautiful wife, Rebeka, who I married in January of 2022 who is on her way to becoming a Physician Assistant. If I am not axe throwing, I am either fishing with my brother-in-law or snowboarding wherever has the best snow report. I work as a carpenter and enjoy working with my hands. I collect Thor Funk Pop figurines and display them proudly on my wall. I have 2 handsome dogs, Cody and Sammy, a leopard gecko named Odin, and a cat, Sheldon, who likes me more than I like him.
