He began his education in the public schools of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, later becoming a student in the Read Institute and Clarion Normal of Clarion County, and prepared for his profession in the medical department of the Western University of Pennsylvania, which he entered in 1889. At the age of sixteen he began teaching, a profession he followed three years. Immediately after his graduation, in March, 1892, he located at Falls Creek, Jefferson County, and came to enjoy an extensive practice.
He was a member of the Jefferson County Medical Society; of the State Medical Society; of the American Medical Association; and was medical examiner for the Knights of the Maccabees, to which order he belonged, and for the New York Life, and the Pennsylvania Mutual of Philadelphia.
