In cricket, he was in the College Cricket 1st XI in 1889 and 1890.
He entered Melbourne University in 1890 to study Law, obtained his BA and LLB degrees and was admitted to the Bar in 1897. For two years he read in chambers with H B Higgins (later Justice Higgins). In 1899 he commenced practice as Barrister and Solicitor at Tatura, subsequently extending his practice, with partners, to several other towns in the Goulburn Valley. From 1921 to 1931 he resided at Shepparton, then returned to Melbourne and practised in Collins Street up to the time of his death.

He rowed in the Inter-University boat races of 1892 and 1893 at Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, and in both years his crews won the Championship. He won his colours as University Blue in every year from 1892 to 1896. In the Inter-Collegiate boat race, he stroked the Ormond eight.
