He moved to San Diego in 1916 where he was raised and resided until his death in 1966. He studied sculpture with Anna Valentien, a student of Rodin’s, and spent two years studying bronze casting at the Santa Barbara School of the Arts with Archibald Dawson and Amory Simons. Hord spent a year in Mexico, where he studied traditional Olmec and Zapotec art and carving on a Gould scholarship.

During the depression of the 1930’s, he created numerous figures as part of the Work Project Administration, which can be seen throughout San Diego.
