He was educated in Antwerp, where he was a pupil of Hendrik Frans Verbruggen.[2] At the end of his life he settled in Temse. His oeuvre is known for its pure Rococo carvings.
He married Joanna Catharina Van der Beke, by whom he had two daughters and nine sons. One of his sons from this marriage, Philips Alexander, was also a sculptor and his son Frans a well-known goldsmith. He later remarried to Catharina Magdalena Wesemael.[3]
