LaCorte graduated from Claremont McKenna College in 1987. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he worked as a media consultant for over a hundred companies and candidates in the United States and internationally, including presidential campaigns in Colombia, Guatemala and Venezuela.

In 1997, he challenged California law by publishing the state's Megan's Law list. Despite a warning from the state's Attorney General, LaCorte hand copied the state's high risk sex offenders and published them online. In 2004, California officially published the Megan's Law database on the internet. [ [http://news.com.com/Megans+law+taken+online/2100-1023_3-202380.html "Megan's law" taken online] ]

LaCorte became the Western Region Bureau Chief for the Fox News Channel in 1999, the national Director of News Editorial in 2003 and the VP of Fox News Digital in 2006.
