About Me

Cruises & Family Vacations

Cruising!!
Cruising!!

Travel has always been more than a job for me—it’s my passion and my way of helping people create memories that last a lifetime. I have spent years planning thoughtful, well-organized, and unforgettable vacations for individuals, couples, families, and groups, and I truly love what I do.I’m also a proud girl dad, and some of my favorite travel memories are cruising with my daughters. Experiencing the world through their eyes has given me a deep appreciation for family-friendly travel, cruises, and vacations that balance fun, relaxation, and meaningful time together.

Because I travel with my own family, I understand how important it is for trips to be smooth, safe, and truly enjoyable for everyone involved.What makes me unique is the personal approach I bring to every trip. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all travel. I take the time to understand your travel style, interests, budget, and must-have experiences so your vacation feels tailor-made just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, an adventurous bucket-list journey, a romantic honeymoon, or a multi-generational family trip, my goal is to make the planning process easy, stress-free, and exciting.

I have extensive experience planning cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Europe vacations, tropical getaways, and customized itineraries. Cruising holds a special place for me, both personally and professionally, and I love helping clients find the perfect ship, itinerary, and onboard experience. I stay up to date on the latest travel trends, supplier offerings, and destination knowledge so I can provide expert guidance and added value you won’t find by booking online.Outside of travel, my life is centered around faith, family, and fun.

I’m a big Jacksonville Jaguars fan, and my church community is an important part of who I am. Those values carry over into how I do business—with honesty, care, and a commitment to serving my clients well.I love the travel industry because it’s about more than just destinations—it’s about experiences, connections, and stories. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing clients return home with incredible memories and knowing I played a part in making their trip seamless and special.

From the first conversation to the moment you return home, I’m here to advocate for you, handle the details, and provide support every step of the way.If you’re looking for a travel professional who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in your vacation, I would love the opportunity to work with you. Let’s turn your travel ideas into an unforgettable experience.

Best Disney Vacation yet!
Reviewed By jwatt123 - Orange Park, FL | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We have been many times in the past but this was the best trip yet. Richard was able to get us a great deal on a suite that we have never been able to get on our own at a decent price. This toom is just awesome! He even got us the location on site that we wanted right next to the skyliner!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A well needed vacation.
Reviewed By Jeff - Jacksonville | Traveled to Cozumel | Quintana Roo | Mexico
I can’t say enough good things about working with my buddy as my agent. He handled everything from start to finish, and the entire trip to Cozumel was absolutely seamless. From booking to logistics to recommendations, every detail was dialed in and stress-free. The itinerary was perfect, communication was clear, and it was obvious he actually cares about making sure you have a great experience—not just selling a trip. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing the whole time, which made the vacation that much better. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely has your best interests in mind, look no further. I’ll 100% be using him again for future trips and recommending him to anyone I know. Highly, highly recommend.
