He then received a bachelor's degree in psychology and an MBA, both from the University of Saint Francis.
A member of the Democratic Party, Henry served five terms on Fort Wayne City Council from 1984 to 2004, representing the 3rd District.

On December 15, 2008, Henry signed the revised noise ordinance passed by city council, making light pollution a violation of city ordinance.
"Although I have concerns about this ordinance, it is up to council to decide what legislative action is appropriate for our community," Henry said in a written statement.
On December 9, Fort Wayne City Council voted 5–4 to pass a revised noise ordinance to include a section pertaining to improper use of directional lighting.
Floodlights, bullet lights and spotlights must be focused away from a neighbor's home, or Fort Wayne Police can cite the offender if a complaint is made.
Security lights are permissible.
The amendment was introduced at the August 12 meeting by John Shoaff, D-at large, to end a dispute between two of his constituents, one of whom had allegedly been shining a directional light into the other's home.
Henry said council should still work to hone the amendment so it can be enforced when necessary.
