He has written on a variety of subjects--art, engineering, literature, history, among others--and is the author of The Brooklyn Bridge: A Cultural History (Rutgers University Press, 2005), Art of the Brooklyn Bridge: A Visual History (Routledge, 2008), and Engineering America: The Life and Times of John A. Roebling (Oxford University Press, 2020) and Leon Bibel: Forgotten Artist of the New Deal (Rutgers University Press, 2025). At John Jay, he teaches a wide variety of different courses -- Murder, Justice, Monster, Food, among other spicy topics -- in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program (ISP); in his spare time, he walks around Brooklyn fretting over the fortunes of Leeds United.
