Charlie Guarino is the president of Central Park Data Systems.
A note from Charlie:
“When I was young, I always enjoyed the stories my grandparents told me about when they grew up in Sicily. It seemed like such a magical place. Through a lot of research, planning and a bit of luck, many years later I was finally able to walk up and down the same street where my grandparents lived when they were children. A day in my life I will never forget!”
Charlie is pictured above, on that street in Sicily.
