With over 30 years of global service in the U.S. Navy, I’ve had the privilege of exploring the world from many angles — but nothing captured my heart quite like cruising. More than two decades ago, I stepped aboard my first commercial cruise with Carnival — and I’ve been hooked ever since. From the sun-soaked shores of the Bahamas and Caribbean to the majestic glaciers of Alaska, and the rich cultural coastlines of the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and North Seas — I’ve charted unforgettable journeys across the globe.

As a certified Diamond Level Carnival Expert, I bring both passion and expertise to the table, and I’m actively pursuing certifications with other major cruise lines to broaden my reach. My mission is simple: to help others experience the magic of cruising without the stress. Whether you're a first-time traveler or a seasoned cruiser, I’m here to share insider tips, destination insights, and budget-friendly planning strategies to make your voyage smooth sailing from start to finish.
