He arrived in Los Angeles around 1930 and worked as an opera conductor. He specialized in landscapes and still life works done in watercolor, acrylic, and oil.
In the mid 1940's he moved to the Monterey Peninsula to concentrate on his art career. While there he was a member of the Santa Cruz Art League, Society of Western Artists, and the Pacific Grove Art Association. In the Monterey area he was represented by the Artist's Palette and the Beech Gallery. His works are in collections worldwide (including Germany, Italy, Central America, South America and the United States).
