He chaired the Pazin based Croatian-Slovenian Teachers' Association Narodni prosvjet and was the editor of the association's newspaper. He occasionally wrote songs dedicated to Istria and particular individuals. He published them in the Croatian revival media used by the Narodni prosvjet, Naša sloga, the only Croatian newspaper for Istrian Croatians and Slovenes at the time. After retirement, he was a superintendent in Pula at the Community School.[7] Further, he was the principal of a school near Pula, in Šijana.[8] He served therein from 1901 until his death in 1910.[9]
