At age nine, Huish emigrated with his mother and siblings to join his father in St. Louis, Missouri.

He later ran general stores times in Moab, Utah; Eugene, Oregon; and Albuquerque, New Mexico. He also opened Huish Drug.
Huish was a composer, but was also trained in commercial photography, making some contributions in this field and operating the firm Huish and Hinshaw. They did most of their work in Utah and Arizona.

Huish wrote over 300 songs, most of which are unpublished. He also write the Payson High School song, "The Silver and the Green."
