Born at Brazil Lake, Nova Scotia, he served for three years in the Canadian Garrison Artillery in Halifax, then moved to Kenora, Ontario, where he worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway, becoming an engineer in 1911. He enlisted in August 1914, and at Valcartier he was given regimental number 57. He served overseas in the 8th Battalion as a scout and sniper until being wounded at Amiens in August 1918. After the war he returned to Kenora and resumed his career with the CPR. He also did some prospecting, and there is an island in the Lake of the Woods named after him, also a lake and a road in the Red Lake District.
