He was born in the village Balbro on Funen, Denmark. He took his Cand.theol. in Copenhagen in 1804, and initially worked as a teacher in Zealand. In 1807 he moved to Norway, becoming a priest in Vardø in Finnmark, serving at Vardø Church. In 1810 he relocated to Holmedal Church in Sunnfjord.[2]
He was a member of the Norwegian Constitutional Assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814. Together with Lars Johannes Irgens and Peder Hjermann, he was a representative of Nordre Bergenhuus (now Sogn og Fjordane). He primarily supported the position of the Independence Party (Selvstendighetspartiet)[3][4][5]
Nielsen was appointed priest in Eid Church in Nordfjord during 1821, and dean at the Indre Sogn deanery in Borgund Church in Nordre Bergenhus from 1835.[2] While stationed in Eid, he was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1830, representing the constituency of Nordre Bergenhus Amt (now Sogn og Fjordane).[3] His primary interest was education policy.[2]
