Christensen, TomProject Coordinatortom [AT] berkshirepublishing [DOT] com Grinnell College B.A. Anthropology Top Siever, BillProject Coordinator, The Sustainability Projectbill [AT] berkshirepublishing [DOT] com The University of Connecticut B.A., English Bill Siever and his wife Amy, both natives of Connecticut, arrived in the Berkshires in 2008 after having lived in Northampton, Mass., Portland, Maine, and Yellowstone National Park. Now they live in an apartment right next to Berkshire Publishing, which means Bill has one of the best commutes in the world. Bill is a huge fan of the outdoors and is enjoying Great Barrington's close proximity to the Appalachian Trail and numerous other places to walk, bike, and look at other people's gardens. He is the technophobic black sheep of a family of technology nerds who is slowly and painfully learning how to operate Microsoft Access and imbed HTML codes, among other daunting tasks. He has been known to black out at the mention of the word “metadata.” His favorite books include Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage, John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop, Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, and Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace. He enjoys crossword puzzles and once entered the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in Stamford, Conn., made famous by the movie Wordplay. He came in around 242nd place out of around 400 contestants, which he considers to be pretty good considering all the people whose profession (as listed on the sign-up sheet) was “crossword puzzle constructor.”
Bill also enjoys traveling; he and Amy have enjoyed several long distance hikes in England, which always involve beer at odd hours of the day and close encounters with livestock.
