He was a friend of Theodoros Kolokotronis father, Konstantinos.[1] Later, he participated in the preparation of the Greek War of Independence in Messenia and when that begun, he was at the side of Theodoros Kolokotronis, whom he followed in the military operations in Arcadia.[2] Despite his advanced age, he participated in the Battle of Valtetsi in May 1821 as the head of the fighters of Androusa and Leontari. Positioned on the western bastion of the Greek camp together with Ioannis Mavromichalis, P. Kefalas and Dimitrios Papatsonis, he was distinguished for the repulse of the repeated attacks of the Ottoman cavalry.[3] Later he participated in the siege and conquest of Tripolitsa.[1] In 1822, he participated in the operations against the expeditionary force of Mahmud Dramali Pasha.[4] For his contribution, he was named a chiliarch in 1823.

After the suppression of the uprisings, he was arrested and convicted to death, but the sentence was not executed because of his advanced age and his contribution during the Greek Revolution. After remaining for some time in prison, he was given amnesty and then he returned to his home town, where he died in 1838.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 Εκπαιδευτική Ελληνική Εγκυκλοπαίδεια - Παγκόσμιο Βιογραφικό Λεξικό, Εκδοτική Αθηνών, Athens 1991, vol. 6, p. 171. 2. ^Dionysios Kokkinos, Η Ελληνική Επανάστασις, vol. 1, εκδοτικός οίκος Μέλισσα, Athens 1974, p. 375 - 379. 3. ^Dionysios Kokkinos, 1974, vol. 1, p. 434 - 439. 4. ^Dionysios Kokkinos, Η Ελληνική Επανάστασις, vol. 2, εκδοτικός οίκος Μέλισσα, Athens 1974, p. 566 - 568.
