Seiner Arbeit nach muss er ein Schüler. von G. F. Wenger gewesen sein, den er mit bestem Erfolge nachahmte. Er machte besonders vorzügliche Bässe, aber auch viele Geigen von kleinstem Umfang, Taschengeigen u. dgl. Da er im Adresskalender von 1792 noch, in dem von 1802 aber nicht mehr vorkommt, dürfte er in der Zwischenzeit gestorben sein.
