The Governor’s Committee on Scholastic Achievement (GCSA) is a nimble nonprofit that partners with schools and corporations to provide one-to-one workplace-based mentoring across the four years of high school (and beyond!) in order to equip young people from under-resourced communities for college and career success. GCSA provides youth with unique opportunities to experience first-hand the “world of work,” develops relationships between mentees and mentors who can serve as role models, and provides innovative guidance to students as they develop their goals and focus on their future.

NYBG Family Forest
The Family Forest is an incredible space found within the New York Botanical Gardens that truly shines in the fall when all of the indigenous New York trees get the most brilliant fall foliage. I had photographed him a number of times at the New York Stock Exchange as the former CEO. They had a fantastic opportunity to get close to some birds of prey from the Quogue Wildlife Refuge.

Here's a rare behind the scenes look at me working. A huge thanks to Hal Horowitz for helping out last night and capturing this image of my strange photographer crouch.
