Sørensen was born in Oslo, Norway. He graduated from Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1929. He was an electrical engineer by education, and also a nephew of Nils Mikael Raknerud (1881–1937), editor in the newspapers Drammens Tidende og Buskerud Blad. He was a journalist at Drammen Tidende and Buskerud Blad 1934–1937. In 1937, following the death of Raknerud, he succeeded as editor-in-chief of both newspapers. He stepped down in 1945, only to return for a second period from 1961 to 1977.[2][3][4]
Sørensen served as a board member in the Drammen department of the Norwegian Engineering Association 1937–1941. He was a member of Drammen city council from 1936 to 1945, except for a period from 1940 to 1945 during the Nazi German occupation of Norway. He later returned as a councilman from 1951 to 1971. From 1964 he was a member of Buskerud county council.[2]
