Gísli was the brother of the nationally renowned intellectual Einar í Nes. Reverend Ásmundur graduated from Reykjavíkurskóli in the spring of 1892 and from the seminary in 1894. He was ordained on August 25, 1895 as assistant pastor to Reverend Guðmundur Helgason at Bergstaðir and was granted Bergstaðir the following year.
