About me

HI! I'm Kay – a former underwater cave explorer turned digital maverick. My journey has been a thrilling ride, from venturing into the depths of underwater caves to revolutionizing the way people plan their vacations online.

In the early days of the internet, I had a hunch about its potential. In 1996, I took a leap of faith and founded an online vacation rental and travel service. Back then, it was an unconventional idea, but I saw the possibilities it held. Little did I know I was pioneering a concept that would later blaze a path for giants like Airbnb and TripAdvisor.

With a passion for the tourism and hospitality industry, I pursued a Master's Degree in Travel and Tourism. And now am adjunct professor at Temple University's School of Sports, Travel, and Hospitality Management.
