As a licensed NYC tour guide, he offers exceptional themed guided tours in New York, showcasing the city's rich history and culture. Kerry is also a career journalist with a diverse array of accomplishments and travel experiences. Additionally, he is a frustrated bassist for an awesome rockabilly band that never existed. But if it did exist, the Rockabillys would have rocked harder than Zeppelin, had more moves than Jagger, and been bigger than The Beatles.

In recent years, he broke front-page stories for the New York Post and wrote news and business stories, as well as music tours NYC, travel articles, and deep-dive features on U.S. history for Fox News.
