Fisher entered the U.S. Army and worked for OSS[2] during World War II. He worked mainly in Italy and North Africa. During the Korean War, he served as a Counterintelligence officer.[3]

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he was a legislative assistant, for U.S. Representative James J. Delaney (D-N.Y.). After doing this work for eight years, he retired to Ireland for a short time.
