Lifelong bookseller, owner of Bibliohead Bookstore in San Francisco
I am lucky to do what I love: put books into peoples' hands. A book can be a doorway to a higher quality of information and a higher quality of life. It is tactile, and can be beautiful in content or design. It can take you places you may never go. We are in a critical moment about how we value information and the truth. Books and reading teach us to form our own opinions. This is why I am committed to saving the independent bookstore in general, and Bibliohead Bookstore, my livelihood.
