Our Team

Gary Kosman 

Gary has the honor of being daddy to Sloane -- a toddler tearing up the playground and family drum circle scenes in Los Angeles.  When he’s not attempting to master ponytails and pigtails for Sloanie, Gary leads the team at America Learns -- a technology outfit for nonprofit and government agencies.  You can also find him practicing meditation at Insight LA -- one of the many sparks that ignited our work.


Christina Williams-Saulter

Christina is mama to Marlee, Quinn, and Piper. She happily parents with her incredible wife Deanne of 12 years in gorgeous Newfoundland, Canada.  Now in the thick of parenthood, Christina finds grounding in through the written word -- especially poetry.  In between parenting, wifing, and her poetry, Christina is the Chief Customer Officer at America Learns.
