He started in November 1936 as district game warden for the Belgrade Lake area. After several years there, he became warden supervisor and was assigned to the Ellsworth area.

Two and a half years later, he was sent to this district as warden supervisor for Oxford County and, for a time, resided at West Paris before coming here and purchasing a home on River Street.
