I was born in Dallas and have lived all over the country since then. I spent 25 years in radio before opening Premier Custom Travel, a travel agency based in Iowa Colony, Texas and specializing in cruises, theme park vacations, the Sandals & Beaches Resorts, and destinations worldwide.

I live in Texas and enjoy going to see live theatre, traveling, sports (especially baseball, hockey and football), spending time with my friends, and going to restaurants and wine tastings.

In 2022, I was honored to be inducted into the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Hall of Fame. 

I am one of three co-authors of the #1 best-selling books The Travel Advisor's Handbook and The Travel Advisor's Cruise Handbook.
