About Me

With more than 36 years of global travel expertise, I design extraordinary journeys for travelers who seek meaning, discovery, and the world’s most exceptional experiences. My specialties include African safaris, expedition cruising, private jet expeditions, luxury lodges, and active, culturally immersive travel for the curious and the adventurous.


I’ve personally visited over 130 safari camps and lodges across Africa, giving me unmatched insight into the continent’s wildlife regions, conservation landscapes, and the subtle distinctions that define a truly exceptional safari. I’m also proud that The Expeditionist is a Preferred Travel Partner of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, granting my travelers privileged access to behind‑the‑scenes gorilla conservation experiences found nowhere else.


My work has been recognized at the highest levels of the travel industry. I’ve been honored as a Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist every year since 2020, and I earned a place on the Travel + Leisure A‑List in 2003 and 2004—accolades that reflect my commitment to excellence, deep destination knowledge, and bespoke, high‑touch service.


Beyond Africa, my global experience spans Antarctica (five expeditions), Bhutan, the Brazilian Pantanal, British Columbia heli‑hiking, the Galápagos, Japan, Turkey, Southeast Asia, and more. Whether it’s the Amazon, Patagonia, the South Pacific, or the Himalayas, I help clients experience each destination with authenticity, depth, and style.
