He was a miller and was engaged in different mills before he set out as a minister. On April 23rd, 1832 he was married to Catherine Roos.

In 1839 he experienced religion and labored six years as a local preacher.

During the time he was a local preacher he preached 500 sermons, and during his active ministry he delivered 5370 sermons.
