On March 16, 1624, he was awarded a master's degree in philosophy (scholar's name: Boiemus ); He became a Magister legens ( private lecturer ) on November 23, 1629 and adjunct of the philosophical faculty on May 1, 1630.

He then became rector in Prenzlau . In 1637 he was appointed rector of the Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin , but resigned from the position in 1638 because he was no longer receiving a salary due to the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War . In 1639 he accepted the appointment as rector of the large city school in Wismar , where he stayed until his death. His successor was the (relative?) Johann Polz (pedagogue, 1605) of the same name .

He was married to Katharine, geb. Butel, a daughter of the lawyer and councilor Moritz zu Prenzlau.
