In the late 1960s, using the name "Ron Sullivan," Pachard directed a number of sex-and-sadism exploitation films such as "The Bizarre Ones" (1967) for the then-thriving 42nd Street grindhouse market. From the 1980s to the present he produced and directed dozens of mainstream pornographic films, including "The Devil in Miss Jones 2" and "Blame it on Ginger," starring Ginger Lynn. He also made numerous bondage-discipline features, particularly for the long-running "Dresden Diary" series, and many spanking fetish videos such as "Blazing Bottoms" and "Smarty Pants!" (both for LBO Entertainment).

In May 2008 it was reported that Pachard was gravely ill from cancer, with an open call to others in the industry to employ his wife Deloras as a cameraman or as a film editor to help offset his medical expenses.
