He worked as a sales representative and an elementary school teacher before his 1992 election to the Wisconsin State Assembly.

La Fave has practiced Transcendental Meditation since the late 1960s, and attended a special mass-meditation event at the Maharishi University of Management in Iowa held in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.[4]
