Dines served from 1943 to 1946 in the United States Naval Reserve on active duty in the Caribbean and the Pacific theater. From 1949 to 1954, he was employed by the United States Department of State where he was involved with the foreign aid program. Dines began practicing law in 1954 with the Denver firm of Holme, Roberts, More, and Owens. He served as director and chairman of the board of the Colowyo Coal Company, and as a trustee of Colorado Women’s College from 1966 to 1976.
At the age of 34, Dines was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives. As a freshman legislator, he was named chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, where he gained four years of financial experience. Dines served in the House of Representatives for ten years until 1966.
