Joe: A Real American Hero (1983 TV series)|G.I. Joe]]'' and ''[[The Transformers (TV series)|The Transformers]]'', as well as the feature-length animation ''[[Inhumanoids: The Movie]]''. He also served as vice president of foreign production at [[Fox Kids]].
In late 1987, he co-founded Gunther-Wahl Productions with Michael Wahl.
