From 1996 to 2000, he was an associate publisher for Sybex, Inc., in Alameda, California. During that time, he published one of the first Pokemon books to appear in the U.S.

From 1991 until August 1996, he was publisher and editor-in-chief at Prima Publishing, Inc., in Rocklin, California. He headed up the electronic game strategy guide program at Prima, an imprint that eventually grew to more than $25 million in annual revenue during his tenure. Under his leadership, the game group expanded its licensing agreements to include books based on comics, television series, and movies. He also started an imprint of science fiction and fantasy books that focused on novelizations of game-related properties and quickly expanded to include novelizations based on comic book and television licenses. He wrote an activity book to go inside the popular Math Blaster software package and ghost-wrote a Muppet book for Jim Henson.

From 1988 to July 1991, he was an acquisitions editor for Osborne/McGraw-Hill. He was in charge of the Borland and WordPerfect relationships at the time, and he developed one of the first publishing programs dedicated to solving electronic games, which led to his being hired by Prima to take over their game book program.

He began his career in publishing as an editor for the law publishing company Commerce Clearing House (CCH)in San Rafael, California. Before that he had worked in the editorial department of the Texas Legislative Council in Austin, Texas. He also taught school in Corpus Christi, Texas.
