He is a former English teacher and is married with five children. Myxter taught in the Fargo public school system from 1967 until 2005, He won his first election, in 2006, by 1,895 votes coming first among four candidates. In 2009 he led the Democrat campaign to ensure that the State's Superintendent of Education held a licence to teach when elected. The same year he voted against North Dakota's Personhood of Children Act, which aimed to "provide equality and rights to all human beings at every stage of biological development".
