In 1982, The Crucifucks formed and signed to Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles Records. They released the self-titled The Crucifucks a year later followed up with Wisconsin. In 1992, these records were re-released as a CD titled Our Will Be Done.

The back cover of Our Will Be Done featured a photo of what Dart believed was a slain policeman; the photo was actually from a Philadelphia Police Department drill.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}} Doc is perhaps best known for the 1996 lawsuit filed over the use of this photo.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}} The Philadelphia chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police sued the Crucifucks, Alternative Tentacles, Jello Biafra, and Borders Inc. alleging libel and slander. The trial court awarded a $2.2 million default judgment which was vacated on appeal the following year.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

In 1998, The Crucifucks reformed and did a brief national tour, including a performance at Alternative Tentacles' 20th Anniversary Party. They also released their first CD in nearly a decade, called L.D. Eye; which dealt with themes such as the Oklahoma City bombing, U.S. wars in the Middle East, the Irish Republican Army, suicide, and police brutality.

Doc Dart has recorded several solo projects: Patricia (1990, Alternative Tentacles, LP/cassette only) and 'Black Tuesday' (1991, self-released, cassette only).

In 1989, Dart was a candidate for mayor of Lansing on a platform of police reform. Dart stated he would appoint a citizen's commission to hear complaints about officers. "We'll weed out the bad ones," he said. "If we have to weed out the bad officers, we'll do it." He stated that police hassle citizens and focus on petty crimes while not paying enough attention to rape and other serious offenses. He also pledged half of the $67,000 Mayor's salary to set up a rape counseling and education center. He finished third of three in the August 8, 1989 city primary election with 5% of the vote.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

Dart continues to be a mainstay of alternative culture in Lansing, Michigan, regularly showing up in local papers. For a long time, Dart ran a baseball card store in a small collection of shops on Michigan Avenue. These shops were located near Sparrow Hospital, where he petitioned the city to open a women's crisis center, serving as one of its original board members.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

Currently residing in Okemos, Michigan, Dart created a stir with his anti-American sentiments following the September 11 attacks.
