He was a math teacher and also published mathematical works. After his retirement he devoted himself entirely to mathematics and corresponded with foreign mathematicians such as Derrick Norman Lehmer . He had good contacts with the Mathematical Center in Amsterdam, to which he bequeathed part of his estate.
In 1951 he and others published a list of prime numbers up to 11 million. In 1922 he found one of the two previously known Wieferich prime numbers . He also dealt with factoring large numbers.
