Interview: Justin Gomiak of VAN WEZEL EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY at Van Wezel
by Shanti Kennedy - November 10, 2023
Like a lot of our neighbors, and maybe our own journey to becoming a permanent resident of Sarasota, Justin Gomlak first came here on vacation. After coming for a few years, the lifestyle, culture and the arts scene made him take stock of what was important in his life and move out of the Big Apple. Gomlak made the most of his 25 years as a resident of New York City, including many impressive years of stage performances (on and off-Broadway), obtaining a master’s degree from NYU (in Educational Leadership), teaching at some of the best private/ parochial schools and much more.
