Before I got in to the travel industry, I was working a job that I liked but, wanted more and when I had the opportunity to get into the travel industry I couldn't wait to get started and learn new things. My favorite travels will always be with my son, with a quick drive to San Diego, CA or taking a drive to Duck Creek, Utah.
Having the opportunity and being able to create a vacation for a once in a lifetime trip or just that weekend getaway are all just as important and valuable.
This is why travel is so important to me. I want to provide memories like that for you & your family as well, and I love it when we can work together -- truly collaborate -- towards that end.
