He served as an Assistant Attorney General in Missouri under John Ashcroft, where he did work for the Department of Natural Resources and the Clean Water Commission.[2] Lindholm was also instrumental in the transformation of the MKT Railroad into the 200-mile KATY Trail.[5] He retired from the Attorney General's Office in 1993 and turned to photography.[1] Lindholm's photos are featured in his forthcoming book, co-authored with W. Raymond Wood, Karl Bodmer's America Revisited: Landscape Views Across Time. The book compares Bodmer's early 19th-century American landscape paintings with Lindholm's photographs of the same locations.[6]
