About Me

At my happy place!
At my happy place!

 

How I got into the business:

I turned a long-time obsession with trip planning into a career after years of helping friends and clients plan Universal Orlando Resort vacations. I’ve been visiting for nearly 30 years, and my “park knowledge + logistics brain” naturally evolved into full-service travel planning.

 

Why I’m passionate about it:

Universal’s magic is in the details—smart systems, immersive design, and services that can completely change the experience (like deciding if and when Express Pass is worth it). I bring that same detail-first approach to every trip I plan, so you get a vacation that feels smooth instead of stressful.

 

My approach to customer service:

I’m big on listening first and building trust through clear communication. I don’t just send ideas, I create usable, executable plans based on your priorities, pace, and budget, and I stay available to help when questions pop up.

 

Specializations:

Universal Orlando Resort & theme park vacations

Cruises

Luxury getaways

LGBTQ+ welcoming travel

 

Travel ethic:

I believe travel should feel like a reset more connection, more joy, and more “we actually did what we came for.” My job is to handle the details so you can focus on the experience.Ready to plan?

 

Send me your dates, who’s traveling, and your top 5 must-dos, and I’ll reply with next steps.

It's All About Listening

Denver/Centennial-based travel planner specializing in Universal Orlando Resort vacations—built from nearly 30 years of firsthand park experience. I create clear, detail-tight plans (hotels, tickets, strategy, and timelines) so your trip feels smooth, not stressful. I also plan cruises, luxury getaways, and LGBTQ+ welcoming travel.

We spent more energy enjoying our vacation.
Reviewed By TripMaximus - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
Nick listened to _all_ our concerns right down to the cleanliness and smell of the hotel properties. With Nick's deep experience in the Universal Orlando area he was able to make informed recommendations, and confirm our expectations would match our bookings. Furthermore, we have dietary needs and Nick was able to provide extensive fun options for us to explore. Nick's guidance took out the worry from bookings, and eliminated the research I would have had to do. Plus, it wouldn't have had the deep expertise Nick has in the Universal Orlando area. Given Nick's experience and genuine joy of Universal Orlando area, in addition to the core trip bookings, he made recommendation on areas I would have missed such footwear, entry/exit strategies, and ride timings helping make our trip more enjoyable.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Nick organized a PERFECT Universal weekend!
Reviewed By ert - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
Nick is so easy to work with and provides a wealth of Universal experience and expertise to his clients. It is obviously that he is an advocate for his clients and makes sure that the trips he plans are set up to fit each family's/group's needs and goals. Nick got us set up in a perfect hotel (Sapphire) and made the entire process completely stress-free and painless. He handles it all. He does an awesome job communicating the week before the trip and provides "tips and tricks" and guidebooks for each park. And he continually followed up with us while we were at the Park. An A+++ experience. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Made Our Universal Studios Trip So Easy!
Reviewed By DaynStarr - Denver, CO | Traveled to Universal City | California | USA
We’re so grateful to Nick for helping us plan the perfect family vacation to Universal Studios California! From the start, he made everything easy—helping us choose the right package and plan based on our travel dates and the experiences we most wanted to prioritize. Thanks to Nick, we avoided the guesswork and stress, and got to just enjoy the adventure. The whole trip ran smoothly, and we hit all the highlights we cared about most. Highly recommend working with Nick if you want your trip to be as seamless (and fun!) as ours.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
