His father was a carpenter, and he became interested in modeling and building from working with his dad. In 1915, he went to New York as a student at the National Academy of Design, where he teacher was sculptor Herman Atkins MacNeil. During World War I, he served in France in the Marine Corps, and then returned to studies with MacNeil at the Art Students League. In 1966, he moved to Westport, Connecticut where he died in 1981.
