In 2012 Duncan moved to Silicon Valley in California to work for Google on the Google Play Store and Google Play Games. There he launched gaming services and helped improve the gaming experience for over 1 billion gamers. 

In 2016 Duncan took a big career change and went to work for Zoox, making self driving cars where he is the Director of Product Management for the company. 

In 2015 Duncan drove most of the road trip to and from SDCC from San Francisco where Dave and he came up with the idea for DYEPB: Preppocalypse and DanDy Games. Since that time he's been designing the basic rule sets for the game, making terrible Google Slides templates of cards to test and graphics for the game.
