Between 2010 and 2013 he created two digital periodicals: A sex and relationships magazine entitled Bastard Life, about which The New York Times wrote, "This editor, who once worked on redesigns at magazines like Outside and Shape, continues to transform his site from an outpost of thinking-man’s erotica to a service-oriented online magazine about sex and relationships."
