He also played in the two-ball handicap event, winning that competition, although as a handicap event, it is not considered an Olympic competition. By career he was an engineer who wrote several important works on rural agriculture in France. A civil servant, he worked for the public health office and eventually rose to become the Chief Engineer of Rural Engineering in France’s Ministry of Agriculture. He served during World War I and received the Croix de guerre 1914–1918, and was also an officer in the French Legion of Honour.
