Career
Strand originated from Kvernes Municipality, where he was born to farmer Jacob Jakobsen Strand and Ellen Johanne Larsdatter. Between 1899 and 1901, he pursued studies at the Higher College of Agriculture at Aas. From 1903 until 1911, he managed an agricultural school, which in 1907 was moved to Bremsnes Municipality, leading Strand to relocate there in 1908. During 1906–1907, he held the position of county agronomist in Møre. His involvement in local governance included membership on the municipal council of Bremsnes from 1916 through 1934, serving as deputy mayor between 1919 and 1928. Beyond politics, Strand was chairman of the local savings bank and sat on the board of the Bank of Norway branch in Kristiansund from 1930 until his passing in 1935.
Elected to the Norwegian Parliament for the constituency of Møre in the years 1924, 1927, 1930, and 1933, Strand served four terms but died during his final tenure. Following his death, deputy Ole Nikolai Ingebrigtson Strømme took over his parliamentary responsibilities. Additionally, he played a role in shaping national fiscal legislation as a participant in the Tax Law Commission of 1929.
