He graduated from the University of Iowa, interned at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital and the Boston City Hospital. From 1925 to 1942, he worked at the Bangor State Hospital in Maine, the last eight years being in the capacity of assistant Superintendent. He served in the Army Medical Corps from 1942 through 1945 and was stationed in North Africa and Italy. He spent the next two years in private psychiatric practice in Portland, Maine
