He arrived in Stockholm in 1795 and was taken on by the Royal Swedish Ballet as its premier danseur, then as its ballet master from 1823 to 1827. He was also dance master and gymnastics master at the Military Academy Karlberg until 1834. He notably created ballets for operas like Il turco in Italia by Rossini, Preciosa by Weber and Fernand Cortez by Spontini.
