He was a teacher at the following places at different periods from 1866 to 1879: Deer Creek township, Shakleyville, Borough New Lebanon; North East township, Hickory township, French Creek and Belles Camp.

He was successful, both as a teacher and in business. With his wife he was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a Republican in politics.
