On weekends you can find Marg carting kiddo to swim lessons and birthday parties on their electric cargo trike\, organizing volunteers with a community-owned Wi-Fi network\, or procrastinating about home improvement projects. Marg lives in Brooklyn with 1 beautiful spouse\, 1 precocious 6-year-old\, and 5 rescued cats. \n
