About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tackling functional literacy and democratizing access to books every day :-)

PHILOSOPHY

* I'm a pragmatist not deeply ideological even though do I have strongly held core believes like a commitment to pacifism and non-violent resistance
* I always search for common ground, because you can almost always find it
* My world is pretty awesome in that I find awe in all sorts of random things - I am remarkably easily entertained

Interests

* I have a severe gluten allergy, so I'm really into cooking (especially ice cream/sorbet - all the calories you eat in bread, I eat in ice cream)
* I love to cycle and biked across a huge swath of central Europe last summer (Dresden to Bratislava!)
* I'm passionate about literacy issues
