He became involved in the dairy business early in life, as his parents owned the North County Line Cheese Factory and later the Town Line Dairy. In the late 1930s, his family built the Arpin Dairy, and he worked there for several years before starting his own trucking business. He later went back into the dairy business and worked for Perkins and Hub Dairy in Marshfield. In 1963, he began working for Wisconsin Dairies and was later responsible for cream procurement and was the company’s safety director. He retired in 1987 after 23 years, and continued to reside in Reedsburg.
