He was born on October 26, 1933 in Thessaloniki and died on September 21, 1990 from a myocardial infarction. One of the first Greek directors who made films in Thessaloniki, which he never left. He was honored at the 7th Thessaloniki Film Festival, in 1966, on the occasion of the film "Excursion", for his contribution to raising the quality level of the Festival. In the corresponding event of 1968 and on the occasion of the film "Parenthesis" he was awarded by the Hellenic Film Critics Association for his direction, while the film itself was recognized as the Best Artistic Film of the year together with "Girls in the Sun" by Vassilis Georgiadis. During the 1970s, the director's films were negatively received by the Thessaloniki festival audience and ignored by the critics of the time.
