In 1948–1952 he was a worker and scrap collector in the artels “Pārdaugava” and “Taupība.” In 1952–1959 he worked as a riveter of rubber boots in the artels “Sacensība,” “Blāzma,” and “Krasny Khimik.” In 1959–1960 he was a vulcanizer at the Riga Chemical Factory. From 1962 he worked as a home-based worker at the “Kvele” factory.
