Travel Expert
I am a top independent travel agent who booked more than 300 trips in 2025 alone. I was #1 out of 11,000 agents for Princess Cruises and Holland America for 2025. I was #15 for Norwegian.
Clients of mine have traveled to places such as Alaska, Antarctica, Europe, the Galápagos, Hawaii, Australia, the Caribbean, and many more.
My ideal client likes to travel on an ocean or river cruise, though I help all my clients plan the perfect trip.
Whether you want to hike alongside penguins in Antarctica, kayak through Alaska’s wilderness, snorkel with sea lions in the Galápagos, or experience culturally immersive small-ship cruising, I can help guide you to the right experience. My ideal clients are travelers looking for meaningful, immersive adventures rather than purely mass-market cruise vacations.
Before entering the travel industry, I served as an Air Force officer and graduated from the United States Air Force Academy. I also attended Georgetown University Law Center.

Thanks for a Great Cruise
Reviewed By M&B - Austin , Texas | Traveled to Alaska | USA
“So very impressed with UnCruise! We were so thankful we chose an expedition-type trip to explore SE Alaska, and glad it was UnCruise. The captain and crew were amazing, and on our final morning before disembarking, the CEO, Dan Blanchard, came aboard and had a great conversation with everyone. Top notch company!!”

Brad Planned Our Perfect Alaska Trip
Brad selected the absolutely PERFECT Alaska trip for us. We gave him some details of what we wanted and it was a perfect 10/10. We were waited on like royalty all the way to the end of our trip. We had a wonderful tour director on the land portion of our cruise that ensured we had everything we needed. The tour director gave us his cell # that we could contact and he was always quick to respond. We would definitely use Brad again to set up our trip.

Brad Made Our Alaskan Cruise Amazing
When we began the process of booking an Alaskan cruise, we found Brad through a recommendation on Facebook and I'm glad we did! Brad was super responsive throughout the entire process. He helped us find ways to save money, helped us with excursion recommendations, and even helped us when we boarded the ship and didn't have access to our drinks package. Our Alaskan cruise was amazing and Brad helped make it possible

The Best Travel Agent!
14 people from my crew had the best vacation ever. Very honest, very knowledgeable about cruises, And simply NICE GUY.

Brad’s Cruise Advice Was Absolutely Spot On
Brad was spot on with all of his recommendations. When we met with him we explained all of our likes and dislikes about cruising and traveling. He recommended a small Princess ship and it was perfect. He even suggested that we do the land tour first but I insisted we do it last because I wanted to spend a few days in Victoria at the beginning of our trip. But he was correct the land tour would be best in the beginning of the trip!
