He joined the commission in New York as a personnel investigator in 1946. Ten years later, he moved to the commission’s general counsel’s office in Washington. He retired in 1972.

During World War II, he served in the Mediterranean theater and in Europe and participated in the Battle of Anzio, where he was a mortar platoon sergeant. When the war ended in Europe, he served for a time as an Army lawyer in Paris.
Among the items he brought back from the war were his medals, including the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Combat Infantry Badge. According to his son, he also brought back wartime gambling winnings he used to pay off his parents’ mortgage.
After retiring from the Civil Service Commission, he traveled the world and, from 1995 until returning to the Washington area in 1999, lived in Beaumont, Texas.
