At Houghton Mifflin Harcourt he was the lead buyer for the Curious George series, and at Quarto he was in charge of manufacturing for two imprints. He also did a stint in Pearson’s marketing department. Other highlights include being selected as a jury member for the New England Book Show, and doing an editorial internship with the prestigious boutique publisher Shambhala Publications, which is where his career started.
