My journey around the globe began over 30 years ago, long before I realized travel would become not just my passion, but my purpose.

I served 20 years in the military, with 14 of those years living overseas. From assignments that planted me in new cultures to spontaneous weekend escapes across borders I never imagined crossing, travel became the thread woven through every chapter of my life. It taught me to adapt, to appreciate different perspectives, and most importantly, to slow down and soak in moments that can't be replicated.

Those years abroad weren't just about seeing the world—they shaped how I see it. They showed me that luxury isn't always about the price tag. Sometimes it's the quiet morning in a local café, the unplanned conversation with a stranger who becomes a friend, or the sunset that stops you mid-step because you just have to pause and take it in.

Now, I channel those decades of experience into creating journeys for travelers who crave what I've come to value most: space to breathe, authenticity over itinerary overload, and experiences that leave you feeling more like yourself than when you arrived. Because I've learned that the best trips aren't about rushed itineraries and packed tourist spots—they're about coming home different than when you left.

Fun Fact: I lived on the beautiful island of Guam for three years.
