Before becoming a travel specialist, I spent over 30 years in senior sales and advisory roles — guiding long-term client relationships, managing complex logistics, and helping organizations navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity and structure.

Today, I bring that same consultative approach to travel planning: thoughtful, detail-driven, and centered on what actually matters to the traveler.

For more than three decades, my work has centered on helping people make confident decisions in complex situations.

How I Approach Travel Planning

I don’t believe great trips come from templates or trend lists. They come from understanding pace, priorities, and decision trade-offs — and then designing a plan that fits the traveler, not the other way around.

My background in advisory work taught me the value of asking the right questions, anticipating friction before it appears, and building plans that hold up in the real world. That mindset shapes every trip I plan, from hotel selection to routing to on-the-ground flow.

Travel has always been part of my professional and personal life — from years of work tied to logistics and planning, to extensive firsthand travel throughout Europe and beyond.

I specialize in boutique hotels, thoughtfully paced itineraries, and experiences that feel grounded and intentional rather than rushed or overproduced. Whether planning a return trip to a familiar place or navigating somewhere new, my focus is on helping travelers move through a destination with confidence.

Outside of travel planning, I value simplicity, good design, and places with a strong sense of character — whether that’s a small hotel, a quiet piazza, or a well-run business.

I work with a limited number of clients at a time and enjoy building long-term relationships with people who care about how they travel and want a trusted partner in the process.

I’m also a U.S. Air Force veteran, an experience that shaped my appreciation for preparation, reliability, and thoughtful logistics — qualities I bring to every trip I plan.
