He attended school at Waretown, and at an early age went to sea. When but eighteen years of age, he trod the deck of his own vessel, and for a number of years was one of the most successful mariners in the coastal trade, amassing one of the largest fortunes on the Ocean County shore. About thirty years ago, he moved from Waretown to Toms River, building a handsome residence on Washington Street, where he has since resided in comfort and affluence. After retiring from the sea, he continued to be a builder of and owner of coasting vessels, and is now the managing owner of as fine a fleet of fourmasters as can be found on the Atlantic Coast. He is heavily interested in the First National Bank at Toms River, and, in 1897, he was elected President, an office he has since filled with satisfaction to his fellow directors and to the advancement of the financial interests of the bank."
