In 1943,, he studied radio at North Dakota Agriculture College in Fargo. He returned to Bismarck and enlisted in the North Dakota State Guard. In 1944 he became a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy. He spent the remainder of the war at Puget Sound Naval Yard as an electrician repairing battle damaged ships. After the war he returned to Bismarck and began working as an electrical lineman for REA contractors in McLean County. Later he was one of the first employees of Capitol Electric Cooperative and then Montana-Dakota Utilities. Tom married Ida Schaper on Aug. 19, 1948, in Bismarck. In 1953, he began working for O & M Electric and was the last employee when the business closed in 1966 due to his boss's death. He then worked for various union electrical contractors, mostly on power plant projects until his retirement in 1988. He was also self-employed for 25 years maintaining radio and TV towers across the state. Tom volunteered with many organizations, including teaching first aid for the Red Cross, was a Boy Scout leader, Civil Air Patrol observer and was a Bismarck volunteer fireman. He was a 45-year member of Local 714 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a life member of Elks, Sons of Norway, United Commercial Travelers, American Legion, AmVets and Moose Club.
