Following his education, Doc worked for several farmers around the Estherville, Iowa area before enlisting in the United States Army in March of 1945. Following Basic Training, Doc was stationed in Okinawa, Japan with the Engineer Depot Company. He was honorably discharged in October of 1946 and returned to Estherville, Iowa. From 1947 to 1960, Doc had worked at several John Deere dealers, Northern Lumber Co., Cass Motor and Implement, and Elwood Implement in Estherville. During that time, Doc also worked for Glen Mitchel Excavating digging water lines, basements, and sewer lines in Estherville.
