Maeder was born in Minneapolis in 1906. He attended East High School in that city. He played college football for the Minnesota Golden Gophers from 1925 to 1927.[1][2] He was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and the Alpha Zeta honorary society.[3]

He played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a tackle for the Minneapolis Red Jackets. He appeared in nine NFL games, two as a starter, during the 1929 season.[4] After an October 6, 1929 game, The Minneapolis Morning Tribune called Maeder a star, noting that he "stood out on the line."[5]

He married Teresa Lauglin in June 1928.[6] They had a daughter, Clare Laughlin Maeder, born in August 1929.[7] After his football career ended, Maeder worked for several years in the oil business and then operated a service station in Hopkins, Minnesota.[8] He then worked as a Minnesota welfare caseworker and eventually as a welfare supervisor.[9]
