Ray McGaughey – A lifelong New Yorker and promoter of his native Brooklyn, Ray never saw himself working in tourism. With a background in geology and Spanish, he was no natural candidate. But casual tours with visiting friends were enough to pique his interest and he soon realized a passion for helping newcomers better understand his city. Today Ray can imagine himself with no other profession and never tires of studying the world through the dynamic lens of New York. During the off-season, Ray tries to travel and has recently spent time in Argentina and Egypt.
