He received a common school education.

He became an architect, and a con­tractor and builder, and in connection with the firm of Schenck Brothers, built two churches at Harrisville, and one at Grove City; also the Diamond block, the Huselton and Anderson blocks, the Troutman and Armory buildings, in But­ler, and St. Fidelis' College at Herman station. He was one of the incorporators of the Citizens Natural Gas Company, and was later president of the same. Polit­ically, he was a Republican, and was a member of the town council and treasurer of the borough during the three years in which the paving and sewerage improvements were carried out, and took a very active part in these improvements.
