He began his professional career as a high school teacher in Gering, Nebraska and served in a variety of educational positions culminating with the presidency of Western Nebraska Community College, a position he attained in 1976.

In 2006, Harms retired from the college to run for the state legislature. He defeated Gering dentist George Schlothauer, winning 58% of the vote to Schlothauer's 42%.[1][2]

Harms ran unopposed for re-election to his legislative seat in 2010.[3]
