We move books. I’ve always wanted to build something of my own, something that reflects who I am. My father built a successful bar, and my grandfather built a successful restaurant. They both worked hard to create something from nothing, and I’ve always admired that. For years I wasn’t sure what my path would be. Then I realized it had been with me all along. Books have always been my escape and my guide. Ever since high school English class, I’ve been drawn to the power of words. Stories have a way of making you see the world differently, of reminding you what really matters. I’ve also always loved driving. There’s peace in the rhythm of the road, time to think and reflect. When I was a kid, one of my favorite memories was when the Bookmobile came to school. Stepping inside felt like stepping into a whole new world. BookDrive is my way of bringing that feeling back. It’s about creating something that connects people to stories and to each other. It’s about curiosity, growth, and the simple joy of discovering something new. I don’t know exactly what BookDrive will become, but I know what it means to me. It’s hope, movement, and purpose all rolled into one. It’s the start of something that feels real.
