In 1948 he married the artist Hedwig Weber (1922–1987). From 1950 to 1955 he was a teacher at the art academy in Enschede, where he taught Jan Kip and Gerard van der Leeden, among others.

He had a studio at the faculty and was associated with the school until 1982.The couple lived in Bergen (1969-1978) and finally settled in Oosterbeek.
