Third Places

Third places are the spaces that aren't home or work, but still shape people's lives.

The Wandering Lantern

Cleveland's first children's bookstore, opening in Lakewood. The Wandering Lantern is about creating a space where kids read and parents connect.

Literacy matters. Access to books matters.

Lakewood

Walkable, diverse, full of people who give a damn. I chose to build here.

Community for men

Personal. Adult men in America are lonely and don't have enough spaces to be honest with each other. Working on that.

The connection

The bookstore, the investing, the marketing work — it all comes back to community.
