Life As A Human's President (and chief bottle washer!), has been writing music, lyrics and poetry since he was a youngster. Spurred on by his friends and family (his daughter Robin in particular), in January of 2009, Gil started writing motivational and inspirational articles at his blog synaptici.com.
