Nate Axvig grew up in frigid North Dakota and moved to sunny Colorado after graduating from law school.
He practiced as a litigator for 16 years before moving to Oslo, Norway with his wife Leslie (also a litigator) and their two kids- Luke and Bekah.
While living in Norway and pursuing an advanced degree in Communications and Technology Law, Nate and Leslie discovered the world class quality of Scandinavian clothing.
That planted a seed which sprouted into aktivstyle.com, their business that brings Scandinavian clothing into the United States.
Since its inception in 2018, Aktiv has steadily grown and expanded into a traditional brick and mortar setting at Stanley Marketplace in Denver's eastern metro area.
