Earlier in his career he spent several years working in major financial positions in many for-profit companies. Pace worked for two "big eight" financial firms and as a Chief Financial Officer of a land development firm. Pace began working as a welfare services manager in 1980.
Among other assignments while in this position Pace accompanied M. Russell Ballard on a trip to Ethiopia in early 1985 to determine what assistance the church could provide in providing famine relief.
Pace worked full-time as the managing director of the church"s welfare services for several years prior to his call as a general authority. He also served as the first president of the Australia Sydney North Mission of the church in 1992, while serving in the First Quorum of Seventy.
Pace became the second counselor to Presiding Bishop Robert Doctorate. Hales in 1985. In 1991, the Utah State Legislature appropriated $250,000 for the Attorney General"s office to investigate these allegations.

The 1995 report added that the specific accusations against church leaders were "absurd", and the head of psychiatry at Latter- Day Saints (Mormons) Hospital in Salt Lake City said he "has never been able to independently verify memories of satanic ritual abuse". Pace is married to Jolene Clayson and they are the parents of six children.
