Little is known about him but it seems he was organist of Methodist churches in Melbourne including St David’s in Camberwell, Victoria, from 1929–57. He was also a teacher and one of his pupils in 1948 was Bruce Naylor who after further study in the UK became organist of St George's Cathedral Perth.
He married Ethel GARDNER (1891-1956) and had two children Lincoln (1921) and Judith (1929).

He wrote this Prelude and about 16 other compositions for organ and some piano and choral works.
