I am a proud retired U.S. Navy veteran with over 20 years of honorable service. My time in the Navy, which included deployments to diverse regions such as the Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, shaped my discipline and leadership. It also allowed me to explore the world and connect with people from all walks of life. Those years of global experience broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for history, culture, and human connection.

As a native of the historic town of Gettysburg—renowned for its pivotal role in American history—I've always felt a deep personal connection to its heritage and storytelling. Meeting visitors from around the country and the world in my hometown fueled my passion for sharing meaningful travel experiences rooted in historical significance.

Driven by that passion, I've traveled extensively and was fortunate to call Japan home for over 12 years. Living in Japan, I gained a unique perspective on its culture, traditions, and everyday life. I'm familiar with the best practices for traveling throughout this beautiful country and love helping others discover its many wonders.

With a strong foundation in military service, world travel, and cultural heritage, I now help others explore the world through personalized, enriching itineraries. Whether it's crafting a historical tour in Europe, planning a cultural immersion trip to Japan, or organizing a cruise that visits significant historical sites, I strive to make each journey a unique and enriching experience.
