As the founder of Beyond the Castle Travel, I help travelers experience the world at its most raw, beautiful, and inspiring through the art of expedition cruising. After serving more than two decades in the military, I developed a deep respect for logistics, preparation, and purpose. Those same qualities now guide how I design journeys to some of the planet’s most extraordinary places.

My love for expedition travel began while serving overseas, where every destination offered a new lesson in culture, nature, and resilience. That sense of wonder stayed with me and grew into a passion for helping others explore the world’s wild and remote regions with confidence and curiosity.

I specialize in small-ship expeditions that reach destinations such as Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos Islands, Alaska, and the Norwegian fjords. I work closely with trusted lines including Silversea Expeditions, Seabourn, Hurtigruten, Lindblad Expeditions, Quark Expeditions, and Poseidon Expeditions. These partnerships allow me to match each traveler with the perfect voyage, balancing adventure, comfort, and education.

Every itinerary I create is personal. Whether it means planning a voyage across the Drake Passage or arranging a zodiac cruise among towering icebergs, I take care of every detail so my clients can focus on the experience itself. My goal is to design journeys that awaken a sense of wonder and connection, turning travel into something deeper than simply seeing new places.

Travel has never been just a profession for me. It is a calling shaped by experience, service, and an enduring love for exploration. Each trip I plan is an opportunity to help others discover the world in its purest form and return home changed by what they’ve seen.
