In the early sixties, he founded Huston and Frena Electric which he ran with his wife, Jeanne, until 1976, when he sold it to his brother, Norm. Later, he worked at George Huston Electric until he retired at the age of eighty, though he continued to work for many more years, wiring houses and installing generators.

He was the charter president of the Lisbon Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees), and also a past president of the Lisbon Lobster Club. He was also a member of of the Pejepscot Sno-Chiefs.
