Baker was born in the municipality of Brokenhead, Manitoba, and worked as a farmer before entering political life. He was a delegate to the Manitoba Pool Elevators for thirty years, and was named Manitoba Farmer of the Year in 1984. Baker served as Reeve of Brokenhead for eleven years, was a councillor for two, and served on the Union of Manitoba Municipalities for five years.

In the provincial election of 1986, Baker was elected to the Manitoba legislature for the Lac Du Bonnet, defeating Darren Praznik of the Progressive Conservative Party by 302 votes. He was not appointed to the cabinet of Howard Pawley, and was defeated by Praznik in the 1988 election.

Baker later returned to municipal politics, and was re-elected as reeve of Brokenhead. He died in 2006.
