Bio

I've been living on the Upper West Side for the past decade. We used to call it "The Silver Sliver" because it was home to the city's academics. In many ways it still is, thanks to our proximity with Columbia, City University, The New School's music annex, the NY YMCA and the Natural History Museum.
