      Between 1904 and 1907 he was listed in the business directories as a photographer with the Edwards Brothers. After working as a post office clerk for a couple of years, he had returned to work for the Edwards Brothers as a photographer and a clerk between 1912 and 1915. The 1917 business directory listed him as the proprietor of the Kitchener Photo Studio.
      As the time of his enlistment in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in North Vancouver in Feb 1918 he gave his occupation as a carpenter. He served in the Canadian Engineers with a rank of sapper and was demobilized in 1919.
