He was born in Sweden in 1896. He graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 1921. There he worked under Professor Lars Israel Wahlman, a noted architect. His education at the Institute taught him the architectural vocabulary that he used in his work. After a short practice in Sweden, he relocated to the United States. In later life he returned to Sweden, where he would die in 1980.<ref name="WinquistRousselow-Winquist2009">{{cite book|last1=Winquist|first1=Alan H.|last2=Rousselow-Winquist|first2=Jessica|title=Touring Swedish America, Second Edition: Where to Go and What to See|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xjCDA-6esWsC&pg=PT12|year=2009|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|isbn=978-0-87351-704-1|pages=12–}}</ref>
