He began his elementary school education in his hometown, then went to the Lutheran gymnasium in Miskolc. He attended liberal arts lectures in Selmecbánya and then in Bratislava. Between 1826 and 1832, he studied medicine at the University of Vienna, and after obtaining his doctorate, he settled in Pest. Already as a medical student, he contributed to the fight against the cholera epidemic. It was then that he met Imre Klauzál (1799–1847), the distinguished agronomist who was the administrator of the Károlyi estate in Tótmegyer and later, on his recommendation, became the estate doctor there. He often wrote articles on medical topics for Kossuth's newspaper, Pesti Hírlap, and Orvosi Tár. He was one of the initiators and founders of the first medical association in the Highlands, the Nyitra County Medical Association.

In 1840–1841, he edited the journal of the Rohonczi Economic Institute, founded together with Imre Klauzál, the economic journal Rohonczi Közlemények. ; He ended his life with his own hand in Gútor.
