I’ve lived up and down the West Coast. I grew up in Oregon, and after college I moved to Costa Rica to start a travel company, where I lived for several years. From there I spent nine years in Seattle before settling in Los Angeles, where my family and I have called home for the past seven years.

Along the way, the travel business continued to grow and expand, just as my own life did. I became a husband and the father of two amazing kids, and those experiences have only deepened my perspective on the world and what it means to explore it.

Today, I’m still inspired by the power of travel to broaden perspectives, create meaningful human connections, and strengthen communities of every shape and size. I’m passionate about helping people experience the world more deeply while building genuine relationships with the people and places that make each destination unique.
