He was drafted into the Army in 1954 during the Korean War and served at Fort Lee, Virginia assisting with government contracts until 1956. In 1957 he was hired by Argonne National Laboratory to review and draft contracts. His specialty became labor relations. He felt that a union should not be regarded as the enemy but rather as a collaborator in resolving differences and that it was important to treat people with respect. Even though he represented management, he was well known for his fairness in the negotiation of union contracts and was most proud of those accomplishments. He received many awards for his outstanding performance during his 39 years at Argonne.

In 1961 the family made their home in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago. He was very active in the Second Christian Reformed Church of Roseland where he was a deacon and an elder.
