All-Inclusive Specialist

My wife, Lindsay and I reside in Anderson, Indiana. My formidable years were spent as a farm kid in Northern Indiana, where I enjoyed a youth filled with outdoor pursuits. In high school, I was the Captain of a State Championship football team and my wrestling and baseball teams. Beyond high school, I worked in various factories, learning to weld, assemble, and paint. While I loved being part of a team environment, I discovered that factory work wasn't for me, and I needed to find avenues to serve my community. 

Over the past 20 years, I have found a remarkable way to serve the community as a firefighter and a paramedic. I take pride in serving not only the community but also my fellow firefighters. I have dedicated many hours to teaching CPR and medical skills to EMTs and paramedics and have served on the peer support team. I also work as a meter reader for the local gas and water utility on my days off from the firehouse. I'm always on the move, so this has suited me well. With retirement on the horizon, I'm excited to be able to draw on my life experiences as a vacation planner to help others write new chapters for their life stories through travel. Recently, I also answered the call to serve in an entirely different way when I became my church's Worship and Creative Arts Director. Playing guitar and leading worship have been a part of my life for the last 35 years, and I consider it a privilege to serve God and people in this role! 

My travel experience has been as diverse as my work life. Life for me began with international travel. I was born in Banbury, England, while my dad served in the US Air Force, spending nearly my first year of life overseas. During my adult years, I've taken numerous adventures across multiple countries and continents. I've travelled to remote islands in Panama to build schools and medical centers; I've skied the mountains of Colorado in and around Breckenridge and Vail; and I've been to Tanzania, Africa, where I was able to experience life in "the bush" along with an African Safari and more. Since 2012, Lindsay and I have traveled annually for our anniversary. We've been to Florida, been on a cruise, and fallen in love with all-inclusive resorts! The sun, sand, and saltwater wash away life's stress and rejuvenate us! My strongest desire is to continue serving people long after I retire from the fire service. Becoming a travel agent helps me prepare for more amazing opportunities to serve in the days ahead. Instead of meeting people on their worst days, I want to help create their best days! Whether to an all-inclusive resort, a cruise, Disney, Universal, skiing or hiking out west, or even an African Safari, I want to help make your travel dreams a reality!
