My Story
A San Diego-based Naval Officer and family man who has traveled all over the world. Current count: 6 continents and 48 countries! I have a passion for traveling at any price point!
My Travel Style
You can find me either standing on the edge of an infinity pool with a view of the Singapore skyline, laying on a balcony chair in the crystal clear Caribbean waters on a cruise, enjoying a family trip to Disney or snuggling up with my wife near a fire in a cabin in the mountains. I tend to plan my trips around the location experience I want and then fill in the food and leisure. I am constantly filling up my bucket list. Sometimes it is to relax on a beach with a Spiced Rum and coke for a week or filling up an itinerary by the hour with no down time. I love the thrill of finding locations at any price point.

Michael made booking and planning this trip extremely easy! We had many options available to us and he helped narrow it down a massive amount! He also helped with any issues we had over the phone and made the trip much more enjoyable and relaxing as possible!

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya - Listed The Eighth Top Hotel in the World
Secrets Akumal in Riviera Maya, Mexico, was listed at number eight in Tripadvisor's Best of the Best Hotels, and you have to book a trip! We loved every inch of this property!
We absolutely love the Secrets brand! Endless Luxury. Secrets Akumal offered our group of four a really amazing an adults-only romantic vacation, we loved the secluded pools and world-class spa. We chose to upgrade to the preferred club. So worth it!

6 Night Family Cruise to Mexico on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas
Our Christmas gift every year to our three kids (Santa still comes) is a trip somewhere. This past year we chose a five-night cruise from Los Angeles to Cabo and back on Royal Caribbean's amazing Navigator of the Seas. It was beyond impressive. We are loyal to the Royal Caribbean family and this ship was renovated in the right areas. The water activities were great for the kids to stay busy for the four sailings days! I would highly recommend this ship to people with our without families. We chose the Cabo itinerary based on the reviews.
