Born in Pennsylvania, he completed his Bachelor of Architecture from Pratt Institute in New York in 1959, after which he worked for Louis Berger, Inc., overseeing its projects in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and Thailand. In 1962, he began teaching at the newly established architecture program of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
