He attended the public schools of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Shady Side Academy in that city and later completed this part of his studies at the St. George's Boarding School in Newport, Rhode Island. He then matriculated at Yale University, from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy in 1917. The same year he enlisted in the United States Army for World War service, attended the First Officers Training Camp at Fort Niagara, was commissioned a lieutenant in the Field Artillery and went to France, where he remained until May, 1919, when he was honorably discharged. He served with the 310th F. A., 304th T. M. Battery and Headquarters, 154th F. A. Brigade. Returning to this country he secured a position with the National Tube Company of Lorraine, Ohio, and remained with this organization until 1923, when he joined the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation plant in Vandergrift as turn foreman of the open hearth. In the years that followed he rose successively to the post of assistant open hearth superintendent, open hearth superintendent and assistant general superintendent of the plant, the position he held when he was appointed general superintendent on October 1, 1936.
He was a member of the Vandergrift Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club, the local chapter of the American Red Cross and belonged to the Hillcrest Country Club, the University Club of Pittsburgh and the Yale Club of that city. In his fraternal affiliations he was a member of St. John's Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, No. 319, of Pittsburgh, and belonged to the Pittsburgh Consistory. He worshiped at the Episcopalian Church, and as an engineer was a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute, the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania, and the American Society for Testing Materials. In politics he was a Republican.
