I've been traveling most of my life, first in the US Air Force, then for fun and now as a travel industry professional. It's my job, but it's also my passion.

Having lived in Germany and visited more than 20 European countries during my time with the military, I've very comfortable with the different cultures and travel norms in Europe. I also love ocean cruising and have sailed on a variety of ships and cruise lines over the last 30 years, through Europe, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and more. I understand the subtle differences among the various ships, as well as the differences between cruise lines.  I can help you choose the cruise line and voyage that you and your family will be remember fondly for years to come.

What's my favorite travel destination? That would have to be Alaska. My wife and I have taken two trips there, one cruise and one cruise/tour. The the nature, the vistas and the people are like nowhere else on earth. I can't wait to go there again.

I've traveled in style and I've also "roughed it", so I'm at ease recommending a variety of accommodations and travel products. The first thing I do when I meet a new client is to listen to their vacation dreams and what an ideal trip means to them. Only then do I feel comfortable suggesting a particular destination, ship or hotel. As a Travel Advisor, I also remove the hassle of planning and booking a vacation, leaving you and your family to focus on the happy anticipation and, then, the actual trip.  I've been a traveler and a travel agent customer myself, so I understand both sides of the desk.

I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life and I look forward to having the opportunity to help you and your family create a memorable vacation. Call me at 888-304-4006, extension 800, to start planning your dream vacation.
