In interwar Czechoslovakia, he was also involved in the Union of Private Officials of Slovakia and Subcarpathian Rus, where he served as vice-president.
In the parliamentary elections of 1935 he was elected to the National Assembly as a deputy for the Autonomist Bloc (a formation formed by the HSĽS with the SNS, AZS and PS). He was a candidate in the XVII electoral region based in Turčianske Svätý Martin. He was the manager of the power plant in Trenčianska Teplá.[1] In the Chamber of Deputies, he served on the budget committee.[2]
He was also politically active during the wartime Slovak Republic. From 1938/1939 to 1943, he was a government commissioner (practically a mayoral function) of the municipality of Trenčianska Teplá, and he also served as vice-chairman of the Slovak Trade Union of Private Clerks.[3]
