Briefly ran for a seat in the California State Assembly 4th District as a Republican in 1996. Sax later dropped out of the race, when his divorce became publicized.

In the mid-1990s, he was a part-owner of a nightclub and restaurant called the Twin Palms, located in Folsom, California.

He now works as a financial consultant for RBC Dain Rauscher, LLC, in their Roseville, California office. He has approximately 25 to 30 clients, including several athletes.
