After finishing his schooling, he was selected to go to Fiji to undertake a medical course at Fiji Central Medical School in 1953, returning to New Guinea in 1958. He successfully completed residency posts and after a period of training in anaesthesia in Port Moresby, was sent to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, in 1966\u20131967 to further his anaesthetic career. After returning to New Guinea he undertook several administrative posts as well as continuing his anaesthetic career before settling at Nonga Hospital in Rabaul, East New Britain Province.
