His education was received in Greensburg Seminary. After leaving school, his first position was that of clerk in a dry goods store, where he remained for a period of six years.

He resigned his position with them on July 1, 1921, to organize the Union Trust Company, at which time he became treasurer of the new institution, in which he was also a director.
