Early Life

Sir Txec dal Nordselvă was born in 1972 in Frankfurt (what was then) West Germany. His father was in the United States Army. He likes to say that his birth wasn't all that interesting except that he was a twin and he was born well below 4 pounds, very small and spent his first month of life in the hospital.

Sir Txec dal Nordselvă first language was German which to this day a causes a mild German accent despite not speaking Deutsch fluently since early childhood. He and his twin brother moved around a lot as they were Army brats. If they spent more than a year in a single school, it was a surprise.

The dal Nordselvă family lived for a time in places such as Oklahoma, Maryland, and brief stints in Southern California when Sir Txec's father would be in remote places such as South Korea or Saudi Arabia. When he was 12, the family moved back to Germany, this time to a remote little village called Wildflecken, in Bavaria and extremely close to East Germany. Nearly every day, the East Germans would fly their MiGs over the housing area where they lived - very close to the ground to avoid the radar.

Sir Txec dal Nordselvă was in Germany when Reagan bombed Libya and from that point on he and his schoolmates had to be escorted to school via bomb squads who searched the school buses relentlessly and actually did find a bomb one time. The dal Nordselvăs left Germany in 1986 and moved permanently to California. They settled first in Northern California while Sir Txec's dad finished his career in the Army, and then after he retired, the family moved to Southern California.

Post High School

Sir Txec dal Nordselvă graduated from High School in 1990 with a desire to become a teacher, though that desire would not be fulfilled for some years to come as in his own words, he "dawdled around unsure for most of my 20s." He earned an Associates degree in Theology and finally his Bachelors degree in Information Technology which enabled him to begin substitute teaching. He took his teaching credential courses, passed the required teaching exams, and after a brief stint student teaching, Sir Txec landed his first real teaching job. He has been teaching now full time for over 10 years. During that time he earned his Masters degree in Educational Technology and, finally, his PhD in Curriculum and Instruction.

In Sir Txec's own words: "people think it is weird that a middle school teacher has a PhD. My response is that it was a lifelong dream so I did it. I am proud to be the most educated person in my family. I was the first to get a Masters degree and, so far, the only one with a PhD."

Sir Txec dal Nordselvă is married to fellow citizen Cheli dal Nordselvă (who he helped bring into the kingdom and received the Prime Ministers Patriotic Award for).

Integration into Talossan Society

Sir Txec dal Nordselvă became a citizen of Talossa on September 23, 2012. Almost immediately upon his grant of citizenship, he was named the President of L'Üniversità da Talossa on September 24, 2012. Sir Txec dal Nordselvă was granted seats in the Cosa on October 24, 2012 when the former Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, Bleic'h Ianescu, forfeited his seats due to a failure to vote in the Clarks.

Sir Txec took up the role of RUMP party whip prior to the general election that would determine the makeup of the 45th Cosa. He oversaw RUMP get-out-the-vote campaigns and upon the outcome, was formally named RUMP party leader by outgoing leader and Distain Pôl d'Aurìbuérg. Sir Txec negotiated with King John and the other party leaders regarding the appointment of a Seneschal, and upon an official coalition between the RUMP and the IND parties, on April 19, 2013, Sir Txec was named Prime Minister by King John.

Sir Txec was admitted to the Royal Talossan Bar on March 26, 2014 after having been only the second Talossan to have ever taken and passed the Bar Exam. On June 30, 2014, Sir Txec took the judicial oath upon his appointment as a Magistrate of the Cort dels Edilicieux, and later went on to serve on the Uppermost Court following the lower court being disbanded.

Sir Txec retired from the Judiciary in August 2020, upon his appointment as the new Secretary of State.

Sir Txec was elevated to His Majesty King John's Privy Council, the Sabor Talossan, on August 8, 2022.

In the Extraordinary Honours of November 30, 2022, Sir Txec was granted a Knighthood and admitted by King John to the Order of the Flag in recognition of his many years of service to the Kingdom and in particular his work in the Royal Civil Service, where among other positions he has held the offices of Secretary of State, Scribe of Abbavilla, Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, and Squirrel Viceroy of Arms (at one point holding all four positions simultaneously).
