Early life

Political career

He won the new electoral district of Mackenzie West defeating Vivian Roberts the first woman candidate in Northwest Territories history by a wide margin in a high-profile race. His electoral district was abolished due to redistribution in 1954 and he ran in and won the new Mackenzie Delta in the 1954 Northwest Territories general election. He served out his second term and did not return when the Legislature was dissolved in 1957.
