Real-life, boots-on-the-ground travel experience. That is what truly sets me apart as a travel agent.

I have been to all 50 states and have traveled to approximately 25 percent of the countries in the world as well as six out of seven of the continents.  And you can rest assured that I will be visiting Antarctica in the near future.

In addition, I have also been on approximately 30 cruises on four different cruise lines. I have even circumnavigated the world with my wife and daughter.

Because I have traveled so extensively, I understand the details that can really make the difference between a good trip and a fantastic one that will be filled with memories that will last a lifetime.

In addition to my travel experience, I have also been certified by most of the cruise lines as well as by many of their key destinations, including Alaska, Mexico and the Cayman Islands. I also consider myself a Disneyland and Disney World specialist as I have lots of hands-on experience in creating itineraries for this most special of amusement parks.

My true specialty, however, is customizing luxury cruise vacations with pre- and post-cruise experiences and excursions for my clients. So instead of a cookie-cutter trip, my clients are able to enjoy tailor-made itineraries that will be uniquely their own.

In addition to cruising, I also enjoy diving and have been to many of the great dive sites in the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, Bali and Roatan Island in Honduras. One of my favorite trips was -- not surprisingly -- my honeymoon, which was on Matangi Island, a peaceful and spectacular private island resort in Fiji.

Because I love traveling so much, I know how important my clients' vacations are to them. So -- unlike big corporate tour agencies -- I don't just try to process my clients quickly through so that I can move onto the next one. Instead, I work very hard to ensure that your trip gets the special attention to detail and planning that it deserves.
