Life

He then studied at the Valparaiso School of Law , which he obtained in 1959 with an LL.B. finished. This was followed by studies at Stanford Business School until 1962. He completed this course with an MBA . He then worked as a research assistant at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Indianapolis until September 1963, and at the Center for American Studies in Burlingame (California) until March 1964. This was followed by a freelance consultancy until June 1969. During this time he was a lecturer at Hillsdale College. He also worked as a truck driver from November 1952 to June 1969, during which time he drove over 800,000 kilometers. In 1971 he and his brother bought a farm in Paoli, Indiana .

From July 1969 to January 1971 he was director of human resources in the Indiana Public Service Commission and then until September 1972 department head in the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. This was followed by a job with the American Medical Association until June 1974 and until April 1977 with the Medical Liability Commission in Chicago. From April 1977 Frederic N.

In 1964 he supported the presidential campaign of Republican Barry Goldwater and in 1976 and 1980 the campaigns of Republican Ronald Reagan. After winning the election, he became head of the transition team for the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1980. On September 24, 1981 he was nominated by Ronald Reagan to succeed Charles L. Clapp on the Interstate Commerce Commission. After his confirmation by the Senate, he took the oath of office on March 19, 1982. Shortly after his appointment, he was asked to resign because, in a consultation with the ICC, he defended bribery in the freight forwarding industry as normal behavior that should not be prosecuted by the ICC.

He then lived in North Dakota and died on December 28, 2014.
