He served 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing the 88th Assembly district from 1973 to 1987 (except the 1983 term). He left the Assembly to become administrator of tourism in the Wisconsin Department of Development, but resigned due to scandal in 1990.

Earlier in his career, he served as coroner of Marinette County from 1966 through 1970.
