He studied at the Escuela Superior de Hombres de Tomé and at the Liceo Técnico de Talcahuano, where he graduated with training in bricklaying and carpentry.

A member of the Democratic Party, he was elected Deputy for the 17th Departamental Group (“Talcahuano, Tomé, Concepción and Yumbel”) for the 1933–1937 legislative term.
