After graduating in 1884, he became a math teacher in Langenthal. In addition, he received his doctorate in 1888 at the University of Bern under Ludwig Schläfli summa cum laude with the dissertation: A planimetric problem related to the theory of algebraic surfaces . In 1896 he became a mathematics teacher at the Cantonal School of Zurich and held lectures on descriptive geometry at the University of Zurich. After teaching primarily prospective engineers from 1899 on, he went to the technical school in Burgdorf in 1903.
Several textbooks and school books come from him. He published on geometry (Ovoide) and edited the records of Jakob Steiner from the years 1923 to 1826 found in the Bern City Library by Johann Heinrich Graf on behalf of the Bern Natural Research Society.
