He was educated at the Perse School, and acted as temporary surgeon sub-lieutenant, RNVR in 1918. In 1919 he entered St John's College, Cambridge, where he gained an exhibition and took his Arts degree in 1920, after he had been placed in the second class of the first part of the Natural Sciences Tripos.

Returning to England he entered into partnership with Dr A G Tolputt and Dr T H Baillie at Kettering, Northants. He died at Norwich as a result of a riding accident on 4 September 1936.
