Well that's interesting!
The non-political career of this one-term New Brunswick Progressive Conservative MLA can only be said to have been ecclectic. He has worked as a barber, then as a metal polisher, machine operator and foreman at a manufacturing plant, and from 1979 to 1987, he owned and operated a restaurant and night club in Madawaska, Maine.
