About Me

Surfing on the High Seas
Surfing on the High Seas

After 40 years in the travel industry there isn’t much I haven’t seen or done including:

  • finding treasured souvenirs in Bangkok
  • coordinating a destination wedding in the Rivera Maya
  • preparing a family cruise in the Baltic

When I’m not overseeing my full-service travel agency, I’m investigating the latest travel technology and always plotting a new voyage.

A native of Connecticut, I have a fondness for all that the state offers from world class museums to nearby ski resorts. As my interest in travel grew, I was happy to find I loved the water as much as the mountains.

Now I might go from a weekend ski trip in Vermont with family to time with friends on the intercostal waterway in Florida or poolside on a Caribbean cruise.

I believe in the motto “you can’t take it with you” and want to help others find the same fulfillment from exploring the world.

My vast travel experience and variety of personal passions allow give me special insights when developing itineraries for clients. My drive to provide great value and be a proactive part of the planning process make me an invaluable partner in organizing the often forgotten details of a trip.

I want to ensure your trip is memorable for all the right reasons!

Always a great cruise!
Reviewed By Lu - Melbourne, FL | Traveled to Caribbean
We have worked with Eric for over 20 years on many cruises throughout the Caribbean, Hawaii and Alaska. Most of these cruises were large groups. From start to finish, Eric professionally handled pricing, booking, applying pertinent discounts for cruise tier levels, airfare and group bus arrangements) to and from the cruise terminals. Eric efficiently handled room assignments according to one's preferred location, dinner seats/table assignments, and after dinner show reservations. If any difficulties arose or questions, Eric handled them to a successful conclusion. If the cruise was an individual one, Eric was only a phone call away and resolved whatever issue might arise. He offered cruises with good group discounts on beautiful cruise ships, often the largest ships to date. At the end of the cruise, he already has a cruise planned for the next year! Eric is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him and look forward to many more years of working with him on cruising!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
