After originally beginning his career at the advanced age of 36, he was promoted through the ranks to eventually become Governor of the Dutch Gold Coast in 1858.
He retired to the Netherlands in 1862, but returned to the Gold Coast as governor in 1869, to restore order in the embattled colony.
In 1871, he left the Gold Coast again, one year before the transfer of the colony to the United Kingdom.
