Professional Summary
I've been leading, designing, selling and operating small group adventure trips for the past 20+ years. Many of the 3000 folks I've traipsed around the globe have become great friends. My target markets are Boomers, PrimeTime Travelers (ages 50-70) and Women 40+. I intimately understand and very much enjoy these markets.
If your interesting in getting to know them better, I'm happy to I introduce you.
I'm passionate about authentic, experiential, sustainable travel. I believe why we travel, how we travel, where we go, what we do while we are there and when we return, all have the ability to effect positive change in the world.
I'm more comfortable on the road, trail, in front of an audience, leading a group, or with a new startup than in an office. I love being around and involved with passionate, smart, caring individuals and learning new things.
There is never enough time in the day for all the opportunities we are offered or to execute all the ideas that evolve. I'm incredibly busy but never too busy to meet new people who have similar view of life and work.
Specialties:
Strategist in the categories of Boomers, the Mature Market & Boomer Women as they relate to and interact with Travel, Technology, Sustainability, Outdoor, and Natural Foods Industries.
