He received his education at the Academy at York, Nebraska; at Western Union College (now Westmar University), Lamars, Iowa; Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois; Garrett Theological Seminary, Chicago; and at the New York Biblical Institute. In 1912, he was licensed to preach by the Nebraska Conference of the United Evangelical Church, and was ordained deacon in 1916. In 1919 he began his service as a missionary in China's Hunan Province. He returned to the United States in 1922 to receive his elder's orders and to wed Ethel Glyde Lea, who returned with him to China. From 1926 to 1929, he served as a pastor in Indiana, and from 1929 to 1944 in Texas. He retired to Wichita Falls. He died on June 4, 1966.
