He received his primary education there and then studied in Des Moines; at the Chicago Art Institute, and at the Art Students' League in New York City. He was a pupil of DeCamp, John Carlson, Twachtman, George Bridgman, Robert Henri and, as a student, was awarded first prize scholarship for best drawing and painting in advanced life classes at the Art Students' League. For thirteen years the artist maintained a studio in New Jersey and in Manhattan, and was represented in sixteen National Academy Exhibitions in New York City.

He was a member of the Civitan club and a charter member of the Denver Art Guild as well as an elder of the Central Christian church of Denver.
