He was a solider, trader and seigneur. He became lord of Longueuil in Canada. He came to New France in 1641. His first four years were spent in Huron country with the Jesuits where he learned Indian language. By 1645 he was posted to the Trois-Rivieres garrison as an interpreter, a clerk and a soldier. In 1646 he moved to Ville-Marie (at present-time Montreal) where he spent the reminder of his career and his life. His career was highlighted by various Indian skirmishes, the most noteworthy of which may have been an ill-fared expedition to Iroquois country in 1666, ordered by Daniel de Remy de Corucelle. During his career, he received awards and honors involving money and land grants. He had two seigniorial titles conferred on him along with additional lands; in 1672 Governor Louis de Buade de Frontenac and Intendant of New France, Jean Talon confirmed the seigneury at Chateauguay.

A statue of him is part of Maisonneuve Monument in the front of Basilique Notre-Dame de Montreal where he was interred.
