Travel style

My journey began as an Army medic, spending weekends exploring Europe on Ryanair flights, crashing in hostels and snowboarding in the Alps. Those adventures sparked my passion for discovering hidden gems and experiencing destinations like a local. After the military, I turned my love for photography into a career, capturing authentic moments across the US

Now, as Chief Vacation Officer, I specialize in wellness and business travel, helping clients uncover unique, transformative experiences that blend relaxation, culture and productivity. Whether it’s finding the perfect retreat or curating unforgettable travel moments, I’m here to make your journey extraordinary. Let’s craft your next adventure together!
