He then began his career at Danly Machine Corporation, a manufacturer of stamping presses, die sets and die maker supplies. He served the company in many ways - engineering, sales and marketing, many years on its Board of Directors, and ultimately, as its President. Along with these responsibilities, he was also the President of Onsrud Machine, a subsidiary firm that produced metal and wood working machines. His contributions were vital in helping both of these firms to their positions as leaders of their industries. He retired in January, 1984. His other interests included his membership in the Chicago Yacht Club since 1940, which involved participation in several Chicago-Mackinac Island and Port Huron-Mackinac Island races, as well as other shorter races. In addition, he was a long-standing member of the Hinsdale Golf Club. He spent many years with his family in Charlevoix, MI where they had a summer home and enjoyed boating and fishing.
