He has been instrumental in the development of Graniteville and Forge Village.

Many public buildings and factories have also been built by him, including several schoolhouses, a number of the buildings of the Abbot Worsted Company, moving picture theatres, etc. He also carries on an extensive jobbing and repair business. His operations cover an extensive area in Northern Middlesex County including such towns as Groton, Lowell, Pepperell and Concord. Far a number of years he has been a member of the Westford Finance Board and of the Board of Health. He is also a member of the Foresters of America, while his religious affiliations are with the Roman Catholic church, and more particularly with St. Catherine's Church, of Graniteville.
