My Story
Army medic turned Chief Vacation Officer. Specializing in wellness, business travel and off-the-beaten-path adventures.
My 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!

Clouds, Box Wine and Epic Runs: Snowboarding LAAX in April
Why LAAX? Honestly, it was a gamble. Finding good snow in April felt like chasing a unicorn, but this Swiss Alps resort delivered in ways I didn’t expect. It’s got everything — epic snowparks (even if you wipe out like me), stunning mountain views (when the clouds finally clear) and a chill vibe that’s hard to beat. This trip wasn’t just about boarding — it was about stepping outside my comfort zone and realizing why this spot is such a favorite for snow lovers. LAAX isn’t just a resort — it’s a whole mood.

What I Wish I Knew as a Solo Parent Before Booking My First Disney Cruise
Traveling solo with kids is no joke. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart! As parents, we want to give our kids amazing, worldly experiences, but let’s be real... we deserve to feel like we’re on vacation too. That’s where Disney Cruise Line came in for me, especially the Marvel Day at Sea option. It struck the perfect balance, giving my son an unforgettable adventure while making sure I could actually relax and recharge. Even five years later, I’m still raving about it!
