• Michael co-authored the book Residential Design For Aging In Place, the first one to offer easy design solutions that meet the needs of the aging baby boomer.  To learn what others have had to say, read some of the reviews below.

"Thomas’s motivation to write this book was the realization that he might need to secure a place of his own, one that would provide a safe, accessible harbor during his later years. His mother’s fight with cancer and subsequent fall getting out of the shower and breaking her neck, gave him the sudden realization that age can bring on expected physical challenges. As a designer, he wanted to integrate changes to the built environment that might provide a greater sense of self-control and independence, despite a disability."
