He worked in rural Manitoba schools en route to becoming the Principal of Tolstoi School (1952-1954), Oakbank School (1954-1955), Tyndall School (1955-1956), and Donald School (1956-1957) before teaching in the greater Winnipeg area, at Lincoln High School, Glenlawn Collegiate (1958-1961), and St. John’s Ravenscourt School. In 1959, he ran as a candidate for School Trustee at Assiniboia.
