Upon discharge from military service, he relocated to San Jose, California, where he established a medical practice. From 1963-1967 he was a Councilmember for the city and held the title of Mayor from 1964-1965. He was the last Mayor to have the title as a ceremonial title, as Mayors following him were all elected at large.[2] Following an unsuccessful re-election for City Council campaigns as a Republican for State Controller[3] and Congress he suspended further political campaigning. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he worked on numerous humanitarian relief medical missions on several continents throughout his later years.[4]
