Meet the staff members that make the First Book magic possible!

Name: Greg P.

Hometown: Manchester, CT

What do you do at First Book? I am the Coordinator on the Strategic Alliances team. I work with our corporate partners to create cause-marketing campaigns that help us fund our work of giving books to children in need.

What are you reading now? I just started The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I’m only on page 47—but so far, so good!

Do you have a favorite quote or saying you live by? “Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.” –John Wooden

If you could have an endless supply of any food, what food would it be? This is a toss-up between apples, baked ziti, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And carrots and cucumbers. And candy corn.

Who is your storybook hero? Easy. My storybook hero is Ron Weasley. He has to fight all the really hard battles with Harry, but he doesn’t get any of the credit! Remember when he valiantly sacrificed himself as the knight in the human chess game?!
