A schoolteacher in the service of the Moravian Community and a pupil of the musician Johannes Nicolaas Helstone, he directed a music society in the city in 1892. After a few months on the upper Cottica, he left in 1896 for the Aukaners of Drietabbetje, on the Tapanahony, to open a school there; poorly received, he left after four years, leaving behind a journal published in 1979.
