Staff

The Staff of CentralPark.com is a group of dedicated professionals that share a passion for Central Park and the incredible city that surrounds it. They have joined together to produce what they hope is the most comprehensive, useful and visually stunning web representation of Central Park possible. They have pledged themselves to always use their powers for good and never evil.

Aric Boyles is the President and Founder of CentralPark.com. Aric has worked with great success on the cutting edge of the internet industry for more than 10 years and has used his extensive experience and insight in launching this project. It is his vision and passion for Central Park that has made this site a reality.
Do not play pool with him for money.

Cristian Nicolescu is the main brain behind the face of CentralPark.com. "Cristi" is one of those people who always answers "yes" and can build pretty much any online application. He loves Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and fast cars.

Eileen Callen is the Marketing Director of CentralPark.com. Eileen brings seven years of online marketing experience and creative insight to CentralPark.com to help grow the site and ensure its continued success as a useful destination for Park lovers and visitors from all over the world.

Jillian Ryan is a native Brooklyn, New Yorker and the content director for CentralPark.com.  And avid traveler,  admirer of all things New York City and writing nerd, Jillian is excited to join this great team of Central Park lovers.  Although already a big fan, she is eager to learn more about the park so she can share her knowledge with you.

Judith Wolfe updates the Central Park Zoo information as changes take place. An avid conservationist, she has been a volunteer at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Central Park Zoo since 1990. Come visit the Zoo and catch Judy chatting about the animals on any given Friday.

Rick Anderson is the Official Photographer of CentralPark.com. Rick has been a professional photographer for the past ten years and is internationally known for his prints and posters, which include city skylines, sunsets, and collegiate sporting events. One of the most amazing things about the stunning photography that Rick has contributed to this site is the fact that he is able to capture these images during a few short visits to the City. This is while others of us wander around the Park seemingly for weeks trying take a few pictures that are half way acceptable. And he's tall. Sort of annoying actually.

Mary Schwalm has contributed additional photos for the Zoo pages. Mary is employed by the Associated Press as a Sports Photo Editor. She developed her fascination with animals as photography subjects at an early age at the Phoenix Zoo and continued with it later, after moving to New York, as a volunteer at the Central Park Zoo. More examples of Mary’s amazing work can be found at her website.
