He served as assistant district attorney in Sheboygan County from 1989-2002, and previously has worked as an emergency room technician, industrial radiation auditor and was in West Africa with the U.S. Peace Corps from 1972-74.

He has taught criminal law as an adjunct instructor for Lakeland College since 2005 and also teaches for Lakeshore Technical College.

He graduated from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in political science, and earned his law degree from the UW-Madison Law School in 1989.
