Group Cruise Specialist

My journey in the travel industry began in 2002, when I took my first cruise aboard the Carnival Legend. That unforgettable experience sparked a passion for cruising that would shape my life and career. After another cruise in 2006, I began to wonder if it was possible to combine my love for travel with a career.

In 2007, I found the perfect opportunity to start my journey as a travel advisor, even without prior experience. I dove in headfirst, dedicating myself to learning everything I could about the travel industry.The early years were all about exploration, education, and connection. I traveled extensively, met incredible agents, and soaked up every bit of knowledge and encouragement they offered.

By 2011, I secured my first booking: organizing a cruise for the leaders of a travel club. What started as a small group of 22 leaders grew into an annual tradition that continues to this day.

Over the years, my wife and I have had the privilege of organizing many memorable trips, including:

  • 2012: 231 passengers on the Norwegian Sky.
  • 2013: 370 passengers on the Norwegian Sky.
  • 2014: 461 passengers on the Majesty of the Seas.
  • 2015: 878 passengers on the Norwegian Escape, a cruise so remarkable that we still hear fond stories from attendees.
  • 2017: 124 passengers on the Majesty of the Seas, featuring an impromptu wedding ceremony.
  • 2019: Our first true wedding cruise and our first artist cruise, both on the Norwegian Escape.
  • 2023: 101 passengers on the MSC Seashore.

With over 50 cruises under my belt, including 30 with Norwegian Cruise Line, I’ve gained a wealth of firsthand experience to share with my clients. I’m proud to hold numerous industry certifications, including:

  • CLIA ACC, MCC, ECC
  • Princess Commodore & Cunard Commodore
  • NCLU PhD@Sea
  • Disney Specialist
  • Marriott Hotel Excellence Certified. 

Every trip I plan reflects my passion for travel and commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.

 

Whether it’s a family vacation, a destination wedding, or a group event, my goal is to ensure every client’s journey is as seamless and enjoyable as possible.For me, travel isn’t just a career, it’s a way of life. And I’m honored to share that passion with others, helping them explore the world one unforgettable trip at a time.
