His great love was the theater. He loved performing since childhood, initially as a member of the dramatic section of the Celje Singing Society. From 1904 to 1907, he led the Celje Student Theater. He attended the drama school of the Provincial Theater in Ljubljana, where he also performed. After the First World War, he worked first in Jesenice and then in Celje, where he directed plays and played a number of key roles in them. He established artistic theater in the Dramatic Society. From 1932 to 1935, he worked in the Celje Studio. His most successful acting creations are related to Župančič's, Novačan's and Kreft's characters: Kantor (Cankar - Kralj na Betajnova), Herman (O. Zupančič - Veronika Deseniška; A. Novačan - Herman Celjski; B. Kreft - Celjski grofje), Zois (B. Kreft - Kranjski komedijanti). His theatrical instinct did not rest even in exile in Serbia, where he performed The King on Betajnova with a Slovenian troupe. After returning to Celje, he gathered Celje's theatergoers and in 1949 became the manager of the newly founded professional theater, where he proved to be an excellent organizer. He retired in 1962.
