G.W.'s Biography

Hi! I’m a native New Yorker (I know..GASP! There are a few of us), currently residing in Manhattan. I’ve traveled widely around the U.S. and frequently travel to the E.U. and U.K. on business and to visit family, but it is always with the greatest pleasure that I return home, to the familiar sights and sounds (…and smells) of my Gotham. I take every opportunity to enjoy the many and wondrous sights and locales that make up the mosaic that is NYC, and I look forward to sharing my insights and observations with you.
