He engaged in business in the West Indies, in New York City, and after 1870 in Santa Barbara, CA, where he devoted his attention to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits and succeeded with oranges, lemons, olives, grapes, English walnuts and almonds. He was the first manufacturer of olive oil in the United States and invented the machinery used in his oil works and in the preparation of English walnuts and almonds for market. He was trustee of Santa Barbara College, and for three years its president. He was elected president of the California State Board of Horticulture in 1885. He introduced predaceous insects and parasites to destroy and keep in check noxious insects that disturb the fruits and fruit trees, and full reports of his experiments were published by the state board of horticulture. He published: Statistics of Trade with Hayti (1868); Forest Culture and Eucalyptus Trees (1876); A Treatise on Olive Culture (1882); and various reports. From 'Our Italy' by Charles Dudley Warner (1890): The most successful attempts in cultivating the olive and putting it on the market have been made by Mr. F. A. Kimball, of National City, and Mr. Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara.
