He studied at the State University of New York College of Forestry and received his B.S. in 1959 from Syracuse University. He received a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1964, and then did an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University. He moved to Australia in 1967.[1]

From 1968 he worked for 20 years at the Australian Museum as a research scientist, focussing on conservation issues and the biology of forest and woodland birds. In 1988 he moved to the University of New England. In 1996 he became the Foundation Professor in Environmental Management at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia.
