My family always traveled, and that desire to travel and explore has always stuck with me. During my college tenure, I was fortunate to start a job with a major cruise line in South Florida over 25-years ago. My passion for travel exploded, and I never looked back.

After learning the cruise side of the industry working with some of the best mentors at the largest cruise company in the world, I decided I wanted to venture out and focus on more than just one company working as travel advisor. I was given this opportunity to join a very large cruise-focused agency as an American Express Travel Services Representative for over 8-years catering to Platinum and Centurion customers as a top performing advisor.

After my tenure as an American Express Travel Services Representative, we were invited to the Virtuoso network where I worked as a top advisor, and also managed a Virtuoso branch agency with a large sales team and staff, for over a decade. This experience, along with a high attention to detail, and a true desire to give my clients an unforgettable experience that will stay with them for a lifetime, is what have lead to my success in the industry. I had the honor of making it into the top 1% of Virtuoso Advisors as a Virtuoso Cruise Icon since inception of the program in 2019, and have been named by Conde Nast as a Cruise Specialist for the past 3-years.

​I handle all premium and luxury leisure travel. I specialize in river cruises, ocean cruises, expedition cruises, land tours, and building customized trips for single travelers up to large groups. I also handle family travel; we have three boys, and travel frequently, so we understand the logistics with making a family vacation seamless.

​My goal is to keep you coming back, and hopefully bragging to your friends and family.
