The founder of BedNBreakfastNYC.com is Richard Anton, a former professional ballroom dancer who twice represented the United States at World Dance Championships, and a New Yorker for the past 25 years.

The idea of BedNbreakfastNYC was initially created to accomodate the many guest students and educators that were invited to teach at his dance school in New York City. After finding seveal friendly guests homes throughout Manhattan the idea was born to create an online website that would match hosts with tourists and travelers.

Iin 1999, he created the Matrix of Life Center, which offers classes in Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, Tantra, and Nutritional Education featuring many guest speakers and educators.
