With 37 years of experience in the travel industry, I thrive on helping clients realize their nomadic ambitions. I specialize in all-inclusive resorts, which allow travelers to pay all expenses upfront and then relax on well-deserved vacation days. Using my expertise in the Caribbean and Mexico, I highlight the wonders awaiting from the moment that magical journey begins.  

For me, the travel bug bit early in life. A Bermuda cruise at age 12 widened the world far beyond my childhood days in York County, Pennsylvania. From that eye-opening experience grew a desire to help others expand their horizons and explore cultures outside their own. I am a fortunate soul who has managed to fulfill that dream while still working from my home base in York County.

I consider myself an expert on all-inclusive journeys after countless client bookings over the decades, but also because of personal boots-on-the-ground experience. I’ve explored many different resorts in the Riviera Maya at least 20 times and have traveled to Bermuda and the Dominican Republic. I’ve also gained invaluable insights into Jamaican culture and activities through a FAM tour, which helps travel professionals discover the best vacation opportunities for clients.

I sincerely desire a good time for every traveler, and I always say: “I wouldn’t send you anywhere that I wouldn’t stay myself.”  I am partial to Secrets Resorts, which offers very good value for the money. Travelers enjoy well-appointed rooms, excellent food and accommodating staff. Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya is also impressive, and I’ve booked many trips there for repeat customers. Other standout all-inclusive resorts include Dreams, RIU, Iberostar and Moon Palace.

On days off, I relish spending time with family and friends. From board games to lawn games, tea times, cooking, dining, reading, and wine and beer tasting events, I enjoy a full and rewarding life.
