About meI love books, have always loved books, and eventually that passion guided me into my career. I have been working in libraries for over twenty years. Half of that time was spent coordinating a public library adult literacy program, working in a law library, and helping to bring internet access to a public library in the mid-nineties. For over a decade now, I have worked as a librarian overseas, mostly in East Asia and Central Europe. I hold my undergraduate degree in anthropology and English, and a Master of Science in Library and Information Science.

About my libraryAn amateur naturalist with a bent toward entomology and ornithology and a love of the Coleoptera and the Corvidae, and a recreational reader of philosophy with an affinity for Neoplatonism, phenomenology, and the philosophy of mind, my curiosities have filled my house with with maybe two thousand volumes, but I prefer to be away from my library, outdoors, in the forest or in the sea – in the company of my wife and my children.
