He was the son of Charles Augustus and Sarah Elizabeth Bruxner. He was educated at The Armidale School and spent two years studying at the University of Sydney before returning to the family propertywhere he worked for a few years before moving to Tenterfield NSW where he established a stock and station agency. He joined the Australian Light Horse and was wounded at Gallipoli and in 1916 served in Sinai. He sold his business after World War I and bought a grazing property.
