He was 2 years old when his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Minnesota.

He was the state director of the Work Progress Administration's Federal Art Project in South Dakota, where he met and married Dorothy Scallin Turnley, a young widow with two children.
They moved to California in 1943, where he at first he worked as a production illustrator for Kaiser Shipyards. In 1946 he joined the faculty of the California School of Fine Arts, where he taught figure drawing, design and painting until 1954.
Boratko fulfilled a number of mural comissions, including a 77-foot-long painting on the history of Hayward, a 160-foot frieze for the Huntington Hotel in San Francisco, and a mural for the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Richmond.
Another one of his murals can be seen at the Minnesota School for the Deaf in Faribault, Minnesota; a male torso is part of the IBM Collection; a collection of large pen drawings of World War II Navy vessels belongs to the Navy Museum in Washington, D.C.
