Schooled at Nedzinge Secondary School. In 1965-1968 he studied Lithuanian studies at Vilnius University and the Faculty of Lithuanian Studies at Vilnius Pedagogical Institute (now LEU). Since 1973 he lived in Sapiegiškiai, farming, blacksmithing.
He started writing in his teenage years, and his first poem was published in the Varėna regional newspaper. Since 1965 his poems have been published in various newspapers and magazines. From 1967 to 1968 he tried to compose songs.He had prepared poetry collections "Vakaro verpstas" (Evening Spinning), "Drožiniai towel" (Carved Carvings in a Towel), "Dulkėti erškėčiai" (Dusty Thorns), "Ne akmenys lie" (Not the stones lie), "Laukties slenkstis" (The threshold of the field), and children's collections "Žydruolis akmenėlis" (Azure Stone), "Hlasų šaltinis" (Source of Voices), "Šviesios bryde" (Bright Breeches), but they were not published. Poetry and letters were published in the collection "Ne akmenys lieli".
The poetic image in the poems is often created from the primary elements of nature, such as iron, fire, water, stone, and is characterised by dialects, archaisms, and new words. The poetry is dominated by an unspecific reminiscence of history, a man called a "dusty man" is connected to the world by a highway, a gravel road, and life is compared to the top of a tree that has been cut off.
