During the Second World War he was active in the resistance and took part in setting fire to the Amsterdam registration office in 1943. He was executed by a German firing squad at Overveen. After the war he was reburied at the Eerebegraafplaats Bloemendaal.
He was married with fellow member of the resistance and sculptor Katinka van Rood.
