Max had previously published two additional titles which were not as widely published as "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell". Max is a graduate of the University of Chicago and Duke University. Max is the son of Dennis Max, a well known restaurant owner in South Florida.
Legal troubles
In 2003, Max was court ordered to remove a story from his site which was a "tell all" account of his relationship with an ex-girlfriend and former Miss Vermont. It was a less than flattering account and the alleged victim filed an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit. The case was dismissed after the ACLU stepped in on Max's behalf claiming that the court had violated his First Amendment rights. The story was later reposted on his website when all lawsuits were settled and renamed "The (Almost Banned) Miss Vermont Story".
"Tucker Max" Projects
In 2006, Max began development of a television pilot for Comedy Central.
In the Fall of 2008, Max plans to release a new book titled Assholes Finish First. He claimed in March 2007 that he received a $300,000 advance from the publisher.
Max is the founder of an online company named Rudius Media. The company website states that it is "dedicated to finding, publishing, managing and publicizing new and original content by unknown or under-promoted artists and writers."
