He attended the (Military Infantry and Cavalry School) in Bucharest from 1885 to 1887. Afterward he rose through the ranks until he became a brigadier general in 1916 as World War I was raging, engulfing Romania. He was known as "Epure" to distinguish him from another Romanian general with the same name.
In World War I, he was assigned to the general staff at headquarters.
After the Communists took power in Romania, he was arrested in 1948 (at 83 years of age), ultimately dying in Sighet Prison in 1953.
