I am a very experienced ITMI certified tour director with vast amounts of destination knowledge from years of personal travel, as well as nineteen years of experience as a tour director.  During that time I have taken groups throughout most of the western United States as well as many international trips covering four continents and more than twenty nations.  I consistently received some of the highest customer ratings for my employers.  I am also skilled at upselling if needed.  In addition to my expertise with motor coach touring, I have also managed much larger groups in my positions with meetings, incentives and sports tour groups.  The region in which I have the most experience is California and the Western National Parks.  However my industry reputation is that I can successfully lead a tour to anywhere on a moment’s notice. I have worked in our industry for many years, but I am not a dinosaur.  One of my projects during the pandemic was to complete the ITMI Master Class in Technology, and I have fully integrated the latest technology into my tour directing toolkit.
