He was director of the Massachusetts Social and Economic Opportunity Council, and executive director of Low Income Planning Aid and Massachusetts Community Action.

The governor abolished the council in 1979. Low Income Planning Aid began in 1973 and was a federally funded organization that provided technical assistance and services to local community groups throughout the state. LIPA assumed some of SEOC's work in 1979, and changed its name in mid-1980 to Massachusetts Community Action. MCA was defunded early in 1981.
