He is now the author of Lake Invaders; Invasive Species and the Battle for the Future of the Great Lakes, which is published by Wayne State University Press. His first book, The Kirtland’s Warbler; The Story of a Bird’s Fight Against Extinction and the People Who Saved It, was published in 2012 by University of Michigan Press.

He lives in Grosse Pointe, just a short walk from Lake St. Clair.
