My goal is to enable every guest to get the most out of their experience ashore by providing them with historical and cultural background about the ports we are visiting, providing them with ideas of what they can see, as well as give guidance for a safe and happy experience. I love sharing the excitement and joy of traveling with our guests. I’ve been hooked on travel since working on the cruise staff of a student ship to Europe in the late ‘60s and spending summers traveling around Europe on $5 a day, For everything! Today $5 won’t even buy a cup of coffee!

I’ve spoken about 312 port destinations worldwide including two round the world trips. I’ve worked with American Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Holland America Line, Oceania Cruises, Pearl Seas Cruises, Princess Cruises, Sliversea Cruises, a private yacht, Road Scholar, and I’ve lectured to conventions in Panama City.

I’m available for one-off individual sailings or extended contracts.

I admit it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.
