His first book, "12: The Story of the 2015 Darien High School Football Team" is a non-fiction memoir about his high school football years in the polarizing town of Darien, Connecticut.

He followed that with a 61-page personal essay titled "The Lawrence Years", which follows his three years coaching Little League baseball in high school. The essay was released in May of 2019 for a limited time.

His next project, a novel titled "Castles in the Air", will be released in the Summer of 2021.
