I enjoy assisting people with their travel arrangements, especially to Italy and Ireland, since my wife and I have roots there. Helping clients to experience their first (or second or third...) wonderful river cruise is also exhilarating for me.

I'm relatively new to the travel industry but not to travel. I started my agency after retiring from a successful career at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

My fascinations with architecture, food, and wine have led me to spend a lot of time studying and experiencing them myself. These passions give me the ability to make recommendations for clients with similar interests.

Because of my frequent travels to Italy and Ireland, I get to sample numerous hotels, villas, restaurants, historical sites, museums, and shops first-hand.

I share these experiences, and advice drawn from them, with my clients in creating their special trip—whether it's a family getaway (for 2 or more), a romantic second honeymoon, or a milestone celebratory trip.

In fact, I'm in the process of planning a trip to Tuscany for my extended family right now. I'm handling everything—air and hotel arrangements, villa rentals, car rentals, tours, cooking lessons, and wine tastings. Sound interesting? I can do the same for you!

Jim took care of everything for us from planning, air travel, hotel room, most meals,free time, Italian school. He did it all. All we had to do was go to the airport. It was a great trip with know hitches or rough spots. Everything was great, I can't think of anything I would have done better or different. Excellent trip and I will use Jim again in the future.

Jim's thorough and professional attention to detail for our two-week trip through Italy by air, train and car, with appropriate transfers , plus great hotels at each stop were essential to the best trip of our life!
Italia -
Did a great job running a VERY diverse group. Participants on the tour ranged from laid back and easy going to extremely uptight and high maintenance. He handled all with equal respect and efficiency. Easy to communicate with and has a true love of travel, culture and people.
