The 5'8" and 151lbs infielder and second baseman who batted right and who threw right played with the Denver White Elephants from 1920 to 1921, and again from 1931 to 1933. He also played with the All Nations, the Kansas City Monarchs from 1922 to 1923, the Washington Potomacs in 1924, the Birmingham Black Barons in 1924, the Indianapolis ABCs in 1925, and the Atlanta Black Crackers in 1938.

After leaving his professional baseball career he worked as an elevator pilot in a public building and as a janitor in Denver, Colorado. During World War II, he enlisted and served his country in the United States Army. He passed away from complications resulting from a chronic gastric ulcer in Denver, Colorado, on March 14, 1943, at the age of 38, and he was buried in an unmarked grave in Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. His grave was finally marked with a fitting headstone with the help of the Fairmount Heritage Foundation of Denver, Colorado, in 2005. He never married nor had any children. On an interesting note, he was the only Colorado-born native to play in the Negro Leagues.
