Nov 14, 1929 named manager of South Tacoma telephone business office at 5418 S. Union Ave. Tacoma. He started in the telephone business in 1895 in Rochester, NY driving a team of mules on a construction job. Then went to Buffalo that year and stayed until 1899 with various departments. He then left to become an engineer on the Hudson Division of the New York Central Railway. In 1905 he left for Vassar, MI into the wholesale hay, grain, and produce business. He returned to the telephone business in 1915 in Duluth, MN as a contract agent. The next year he became commercial manager of the Mesaba Telephone Co., becoming the area manager the following year in Hibbing, MN. He came to Tacoma in 1919 and was employed by the telephone company in 1920. In the newspaper clip of his passing, it states he was the superintendent of the Pierce County farm at Sumner for the past two years.
