About
I am a Cleveland, Ohio-based Tour Director, who completed the Tour Director Program with the International Guide Academy in Denver, CO, and earned the Certified International Tour Manager (CITM) designation in March 2019. I have also completed Destination training with Trip School – New York City, Boston, New England Fall Foliage; and have trained with ITMI and Cherie Anderson of Professional Tour Management Training. Prior to tour directing, I applied a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Business in a 30+ year career in Marketing and Sales. I have led multi-day tours in Washington D.C. – including Alexandria, Mount Vernon, Jamestown, Charlottesville, and Williamsburg; Boston – including Salem, Plymouth, and Lexington & Concord; New York City – Manhattan; New England: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Western MA, Central New York; and Philadelphia, Erie, Gettysburg and Shanksville, PA. I bring a wide range of life experiences to my tours as - a former athlete, entertainer, business executive, world traveler, and educator - and I work extremely hard to make the tours I lead unique and fun, and take great satisfaction in leading people to amazing destinations.

Fun Fact
I love comedy and in the '80s did a little bit of stand-up in the Midwest. Decided to get an MBA instead. Mistake! Have worked in the wine, optical, gaming, and health insurance industries.
