Ambassador Committee

In my lifetime, I have traveled to every continent in the world and visited countries from 1st to 3rd world. My passion is global travel and about sharing this joy with clients to not only experience the wonders of the world but also better understand that all people have more in common than what keeps us apart. In addition and with gratitude, my lifetime commitment has been to equally invest my time and energy in my community(s) as defined broadly. My extended family will always be an equal partner in my professional endeavors.
