Early life and career [ edit ]
He was born in London in 1884. He entered the Civil Service but resigned so that he could travel abroad, settling in Lower Hutt in 1906. Before the First World War , he worked for Wellington City Council. During the war, he was on active service overseas until 1918. He was offered a job with the New Zealand Defence Force on his return, but declined, instead becoming a bookseller in Ōtaki . He remained in the job of bookseller until his death.
Political career [ edit ]
While living in Ōtaki, he was a member on various boards: the Borough Council, the Licensing Committee, and the Fire Board. In 1935, he was elected member of Parliament for Otaki, and again in 1938.
