He was born in Emden and made a trip southwards to Italy in 1611 where he met the "Caravaggist" Louis Finson.[1] He travelled extensively with Finson and worked with him in France, but was back in Emden in 1618 where he joined the Emden Guild of St. Luke.[1] He remained a member until 1629, and his sons Berend and Hermann II also became members of the guild.[1] He died in Emden.
