Houbraken mentioned him as a "gemeen schilder" who was the first drawing teacher of Jan Baptist Weenix.[1]

According to the RKD besides being the first teacher of Jan Baptist Weenix he painted staffage in paintings by Jan Fransz Dammeroen, Hans Jurriaensz van Baden and Joachim Govertsz Camphuysen.[2] In 1653 he lived on the Prinsengracht across from the Noorderkerk in the house called 't Wapen van Amsterdam.[2] When he died he lived on the Lindengracht, and was buried in the Noorderkerk.[2]
