He joined the gold rush in Ballarat, but returned to his watchmakers shop in Geelong. In 1861, they moved to Invercargill. He was Mayor of Invercargill in 1873–1874 and again in 1878–1879.
He represented the Invercargill electorate in Parliament from 1875 to 1878, when he resigned, as absence from his jewellery shop was affecting his business.
