He is thought to be one of the first to successfully climb Mt. Duckabush circa 1899 and was a charter member of the Mountaineers, a Pacific Northwest outdoor club founded in 1906. During WWI he was head of the Kodak department at Lowman and Hanford, a Seattle stationary and printing company. He would continue taking photographs of the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, and Seattle gardens and scenery until his death in May of 1934.
