I'm the manager of the Books Inc. Store at Town & Country Village in Palo Alto. I've been with Books Inc. for about 5 years. I enjoy literary fiction and thrillers, and the occasional nonfiction book.

My latest favorite is Drood, by Dan Simmons. It's a dark psychological thriller about the last years of Charles Dickens' life, as told by Wilkie Collins. I love unreliable narrators, and this book definitely has one.

When I'm not reading I'm learning to play the guitar and sing. I love old time music, and the Blues.

I live with my girlfriend of twelve years, and our two cats, Taco and Monkey.
