Ein seiner Zeit berühmter Geigen- und Lautenmacher, dessen Arbeiten heute noch mehr geschätzt sind, da sie sich durch Sauberkeit und schönen, hellen Ton auszeichnen. Er legte am 7. Juli 1764 den Bürgereid ab und kommt in den Steuerbüchern von 1765—1772 vor. Eine gute Geige aus dem Jahre 1771 von ihm besitzt das Schottenstift in Wien. — Sein Nachfolger war Philipp Wurm.
