He was a master brick mason who worked for many years at the Washburn and Moen steel plants which became a part of US Steel in Worcester. He worked at both the Northworks and Southworks plants in Worcester maintaining the huge brick stacks for the furnaces. One of the giant chimneys that he was in charge of building at the Southworks plant, where his son James worked along side of him during the construction, was demolished in the early 2000's from the long closed facility to make way for a new Walmart plaza.
When he had first come to America he lived in Illinois,and New Hampshire before coming to Massachusetts. He may have lived for a short time in Fall River where two of his brothers had settled but soon moved to Worcester where another brother was living.
He and his family lived on Poets Hill in a neighborhood known as the North End where many of the steel workers lived. Sometime after 1911 he and his sons built a three decker in a nearby neighborhood that would be a family home for over 50 years.
