Born at Clearwater, Manitoba on 13 September 1888, son of Peter B.

After the war, he returned to Canada and was at Minto Barracks in Winnipeg before resuming his private practice.
On 30 June 1915, he married Francis Irene Finn, daughter of T. G. Finn, at Morden. He was a member of the Canadian and Manitoba Dental Associations, Oddfellows (Past Noble Grand, No. 18), and Killarney Curling Club (President). His recreations included curling and golf.
