His second startup with partners (Planet Recycling, Inc.) was sold in 1993 to Waste Management for an undisclosed sum.

He has self-published several books with one published in 2008 by John Wiley and Sons with “The Silent Salesmen.” It was translated into German and sold more than 16,000 copies in a niche market.
