He studied in Egypt, Italy, China, India, and France from 1919 to 1921. When he returned to the United States, he joined the firm of New York architect John Russell Pope (later renamed Eggers and Higgins). As a member of that firm, he oversaw construction of many nationally famous buildings, including the National Gallery of Art, the Jefferson Memorial, the Second Division War Memorial, Constitution Hall, and the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum. In 1950 he moved to Knoxville to join the architectural firm of Barber and McMurry and was named to the newly created position of university architect in 1953, serving on the staff of John L. Neely Jr., director of the Physical Plant. In 1970 he designed the mammoth supersonic wind tunnels of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory at White Oak, Maryland.
