Lobb was introduced to the management of Taxan USA via the owner of a video game store he frequented in Northern California.
Subsequently Lobb was employed as Product Manager of Taxan USA between October 1988 and January 1991,[4] where he worked alongside Japanese developer KID on various NES games made for the U.S. market.
After Taxan closed down in early 1991, Lobb was then employed by Namco Hometek until 1993, where he was Head of Product Development.
Shortly after the resignation of Minoru Arakawa from Nintendo in January 2002, Lobb left to join Microsoft Game Studios.
