I have been a licensed NYC Sightseeing Guide since 2004.  Exploring every corner of New York City is my passion – and I focus on sensory immersion, being present, and allowing serendipity to guide the day – as opposed to trying to fill up the tour with tons of detail and history.  I believe in the mystery and wonder of our universe and the great city I live in – and discovery and exploration.  I believe in tying my walks throughout the city to both the mundane and the sublime and navigating the connection between the two.  We weave myth out of the specifics of our immediate environment as we walk.  I see our walks as like that of an earthworm passing through soil.  The earth enriches the worm, as the worm enriches the earth.  But I also see my tours as something akin to a traveling dinner party.  We’re all talking, engaging, making a day that stands out – that makes us glad to be alive. In addition to leading tours, I teach classes on exploring NYC (and other topics) at The Brooklyn Brainery.  And I have taught a similar class for a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. All of my tours conclude with a poetic recap of our adventures.  I am a musician and recorded a spoken word album of some of these.  And I created a video slide show to go along with the album.  Any of these sources can give you a good idea of the types of custom tours I can develop. Also…  someone wrote a theme song about me.
