Biography
I live in Old Greenwich, CT and own two stores -- Just Books and Just Books, Too and Arcadia Coffee Co.. I don't have a long history in the book business. I left high tech after having built a company, sold it, built up another company and left the public company life for a quieter world of independent bookselling.
So far, so good. I read a lot and see my kids in the morning and at night. I don't really travel unless I want to and I work with smart people and love what I do.
