He was born on December 23, 1940, the son of Tadjuddin Usup and Tati Pontoh, the latter a daughter of Bendji Pontoh, the former rajah of the kingdom of Bolangitang.1 In 1974, "Prof Usup" or "Pak Usup," as he was fondly known, became an assistant teacher at the Institut Keguruan Ilmu Pendidikan (IKIP) in Manado, Sulawesi Utara, at Universitas Sam Ratulangi (IKIP later being moved to Universitas Negeri Manado, located in the town of Tondano), and became a full professor there in 1980, a position he held until his passing. He received both his BA and MA from IKIP Manado, and his PhD at IKIP Jakarta (based at the University of Indonesia) in 1986.
