He learned the trade in Germany with Johann Josua Mosengel and Georg Caspari, both in Königsberg in East Prussia. From this location he worked in Poland, Bohemia, Germany and Latvia. In 1742 he settled in Linköping. After his death on February 22, 1777, the workshop was continued by his employee Pehr Schiörlin.
