I have traveled and worked alongside Michael in India and Nepal, as well as in my home state of Georgia and deeply appreciate the work he does, especially his work with snakes. As a board member of Save The Snakes I have seen firsthand his dedication to snake conservation efforts around the world."" --Dr. David Wojnowski, PhD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Science Education, Georgia State University"
