Travel consultant. Marketer. Spokesman. Television host. Radio personality. Tour guide.
I’ve been hooked on travel since I escorted my first groups in the 80’s. (A group to Hawaii and a Caribbean cruise group)
In those days, I hung out at the brick and mortar travel agency of a friend. Although my full time career (at that time) was in a different field, he always laughed that I was a ‘frustrated travel agent”. He was right.
I loved all aspects of travel. The sheer thought of being someplace exotic, or historic, or just sunny and warm. I would peruse the brochures for hours and ‘travel in my head’.
A career change in the late 80’s introduced something new to the mix. I began coordinating everything from sales meetings to conventions to trade shows. From San Antonio to Key West, from Orlando to Las Vegas. Anaheim to Cleveland. A later ‘personal interest’ led me to the world of fan conventions which I also formulated and produced.
And then the industry changed, and technology allowed me to dive into the industry I’d always wanted to be part of.
Travel.
So now I get to spend a lot of time planning travel for myself and others, helping others have the time of their lives and generally just immersing myself in the excitement of the world!
Join me as we travel together, both virtually and in reality.
