About Me

Expert in Disney, Universal, and Specialty Trips

I seek out unique adventures that highlight local experts, world-class experiences, and ones that can be enjoyed by people of all ages -- even if you're leaving the little ones behind this time around. I got into this business through my love of Disney. As a kid, I spent summers visiting my grandparents, who lived one town over from Walt Disney World in Florida. And as an adult, I have rediscovered the magic of the original: The Disneyland Resort in California. My wife and I flew out there from Chicago just to get married ... we were definitely the best-dressed couple on Jungle Cruise that night. And now, I specialize in Disney weddings and honeymoons. But my love of travel doesn't stop at the water's edge. I've sailed the Disney Cruise Line, experienced fireworks at sea, and marveled at the global adventures crafted by Adventures By Disney, National Geographic Expeditions, and Viking. And for you sports fans: I'm your all-star guide to bucket-list sporting events worldwide.
