He worked as a surgeon at the Fullerton Hospital.
In 1906 he married Carrie Blanche Milster. They had three children: Beatrice, Helen, and Howard.
He served as chief examiner of the exemption board for north Orange County during World War I, and as the city health officer.
He was a director of the Standard Bank of Orange County and the Home Builders of Fullerton. He also owned a Valencia orange grove.
