Weaver Street Geoff

My photo
Geoff Gilson...
...is currently a 'tasty' writer, composer (POP VOXX), stand-up comedian and broadcaster, living in Carrboro, North Carolina.

In his previous incarnation, in the conventional corporate world, Geoff was a successful lawyer (UK/US), catering & entertainment management consultant (UK/US), and political speechwriter (UK/US: Dukakis - 1988).

Geoff is delighted that he left that life behind, and takes huge pride in being a co-op worker-owner, grafting alongside all of his 'tasty' mates (and 'tasty' matesses...) at Weaver Street Market Co-operative (on the Hot Bar, in Southern Village).

If you want to vote in the Election for WSM Board Directors, become a consumer- or worker-owner by contacting: board@weaverstreetmarket.coop.

If you have an issue or a question, which you want to raise in confidence, please feel free to contact Geoff at: geoffgilson@hotmail.com.
