“The Doylestown Bookshop has always been a home away from home for me. I have loved reading from a very young age and I am constantly surrounded by books," he said. "I have very eclectic tastes, from literature to graphic novels to philosophy. I'll read almost anything, but in general, the weirder, the better. The thing I love about books the most is the way they can open your mind to new ideas and ways of thinking."

He added, "Every book you read changes and expands your reality, and to be able to work in a place where I can help people find ways to expand their world is a dream come true."
