I am a travel-food-aholic!

USA citizen, 72 years old, single, vaccinated, healthy, living in California.

Started adventurizing the world when I was an musician/entertainer (drummer) before disco.  I had my own musical group and got to see much of the USA, Canada and Caribbean and got paid for it. Now travel is part of my DNA!

Managed motorcoach tour and travel buses in the 80's, especially companies in Napa Valley and Palm Springs (Grayline Tours) as the area executive.

Marketing and sales executive in California Casinos in the 90's. My family was involved in the casino business for many years as supervisors and managers.

I encountered my first ocean voyage cruise in 2003 (Mexican Riviera) and haven't looked back.  Since then been on over 65+ river and ocean cruises.

2022-2023 a great sightseeing year for me: Europe, Panama Canal, Australia and New Zealand, Indochina, Dubai, Iceland, Alaska, Caribbean to name a few. Give me a location and I can enlighten and educate you!

I am a veteran Vacation, Tour and Cruise Consultant and continue to have strong relationships with the decision makers,managers and colleagues in the tour and travel industry.

Accomplishments, affiliations and awards: CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) member, PATA (Pacific Asian Travel Association) board member, IATA (International Air Transport Association), Princess and Cunard Cruises Travel Award, Commodore, Marriott International Hotel Excellence Program graduate (Famtastic), ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents) affiliate, Black Diamond, Elite and Platinum level status for many cruise lines, (Princess, MSC, Cunard, Carnival, Celebrity, AMA Waterways), Disney Travel Consultant Graduate,  Diamond-Plus member for Caesar's Entertainment, Hotels and Casinos. 

I am particularly interested in promoting Transatlantic and Transpacific ocean cruising for singles and couples, particularly Cunard Queen Mary 2, one ways.  The format and layout of that ship is perfect for the outgoing, inquisitive persons wanting to learn more about wine/food, England and Europe, and history of Cunard,  the best cruise line for knowledge, learning and fun!

My second love is being an avid wine hobbyist and foodie,having lived in Napa Valley, California for years. Personally involved in the in the retail tasting rooms, growing grapes and making my own wine, conducted seminars wine education.   Past President of the Wine Hospitality Organization (WHO) in Napa Valley and represented the tasting room staffs for marketing and sales. I am an expert constructing the best wine tours in California.  Many great winemakers and viticulturists graduated at University of California wine schools and are now placed in wineries worldwide.  Let's go find them to discover, explore and taste their wares!

2024 bodes well for more excitement in the travel industry.  There are significant changes however, and I am more than qualified to organize and lead you and your groups to achieve the best bang for you buck!
