His first years are unknown. From about 1664 he was a violinist at the court of the Elector Maximilian Heinrich in Bonn and later became vice-Kapellmeister there. From 1675 he lived principally in Cologne, but from about 1683 to 1699 he also worked in the Netherlands, where he was highly regarded as a violinist and numbered Carolus Hacquart among his colleagues. On a title-page of 1691 he is described as vice-Kapellmeister at the court at Cologne. In 1697 he participated in a collegium musicum in Amsterdam together with Nicolas Desrosier, Hendrik Anders and others. In 1699 he was Kapellmeister of Cologne Cathedral and in 1701 was appointed to a similar post by the city council; he kept both posts until his death in 1725. As a composer, he mainly published sacred works, among them, 'Motetta, sive cantiones sacrae' (1668) and at least 12 masses and 18 motets (). He was also praised as a composer of instrumental music, mainly by his collection of '14 sonate' for several instruments (1697). His daughter Maria Anna married the composer Willem de Fesch.
