Tom Miller moved to New York City in 1979 from Dayton, Ohio. The transplanted Buckeye brought with him a passion for investigating the personal stories of buildings. While his first employment was in the bustling Garment District as an office manager, he has since been involved for many years with the New York Police Department, where--whether on patrol or marching its wide avenues--he had the opportunity to see the city's seemingly endless variety of buildings. Tom currently holds the rank of Deputy Inspector within the NYPD's Auxiliary Police Force. In 2009 he started his blog, Daytonian in Manhattan which has now reviewed over a thousand buildings, statues and other points of interest. He is the author of Seeking New York published by Universe in 2015.
