He graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1881, was admitted to the bar the same year, and commenced practice in Saginaw. He was an alderman of East Saginaw, 1882-1884, a judge of the probate court of Saginaw County, 1888-1896, and a delegate to the 1896 Democratic National Convention.
