After graduation, until 1989, he worked at the Provincial Veterinary Institute in Opole, and then until 1990, at the State Agricultural Farm in Bierdzany. From 1990 to 2008, he ran a private veterinary practice specializing in animal reproduction. Simultaneously, he worked in financial companies and from 1992 to 1993 at the Animal Breeding and Insemination Station in Kluczbork. He also worked at the School-Kindergarten Complex and Gymnasium in Chocianowice. In 2002, he became the head of the county office at the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture in Kluczbork, and in 2007, he took the same position in the branch in Oleśno.
