He joined Peters and Reed, Zanesville, Ohio in 1906, became president, and turned the company into a success. He adapted utilitarian flower pots into art pottery, creating the Moss Aztec line, a red clay pottery with green tints that had a rustic feel. In 1918 he became Art Director for Roseville, where he designed the popular Roseville Pinecone series in 1935.
