"Never a ship sails out of the bay but carries my heart as a stowaway."

This phrase perfectly encapsulates my passion for the cruising and travel industry. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was privileged to witness the majestic ships coming and going, each one sparking a desire in me to share the joy of travel with others.

My official travel career began in 1983 in San Francisco, a city known for its vibrant waterfront and bustling port activities. After gaining valuable experience in San Francisco, I moved to Los Angeles, further immersing myself in the travel scene. The opportunities in LA allowed me to refine my skills and broaden my network. Following this, I relocated to the Detroit area, where I joined one of the original API agencies, a move that significantly shaped my professional trajectory.

In 1993, I relocated to South Florida, the ultimate hub for cruise enthusiasts. Here, surrounded by sunshine, palm trees, and countless cruise ships, I found my true calling. My experience spans from working with esteemed lines like Sitmar to the luxurious Silversea and every ship in between. Whether sailing on these ships or conducting extensive tours, I have developed an in-depth knowledge of what makes each cruise unique.

My mission is to match clients with their ideal cruise vacation, ensuring every detail aligns with their preferences and expectations. For those who prefer land adventures, I specialize in curating personalized tours and itineraries. Whether it’s a hot air balloon ride over the temples in Bagan, an elephant ride in Thailand, or a thrilling safari to witness a lioness and her cubs, I am committed to creating unforgettable travel experiences tailored just for you.

With decades of experience and an unwavering passion for exploration, I am honored to be recognized as a "Virtuoso Icon" within the travel industry, a distinction reserved for the top 1% of luxury advisors in the United States. My mission is to guide you in discovering the perfect travel adventure. Whether by sea or by land, I am committed to ensuring that your journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Let's embark on this adventure together!
