He studied Greek and Latin in Heidelberg and Basel and followed Simon Sulzer to the high school in Bern , where he was professor of ancient languages from 1536 to 1546 .

After the Reformation was introduced in Markgräflerland in 1556, he became pastor at the Röttler Church and superintendent in Rötteln in 1558 , which he remained until his death in 1564.
