I plan trips with the same care I’d want mine planned with.
For people who don't leave great trips to chance, I plan luxury ski vacations and high-end travel.
Based in Mequon, Wisconsin, I work primarily with clients across Greater Milwaukee and Chicago's North Shore, and beyond.
I started skiing at five years old, on the t-bar at Ski Roundtop in Pennsylvania. That's a long way from the Rockies and the Alps, so skiing made me a traveler early on.
Flying has always been a passion: airport codes, fare buckets, the kind of thing that makes friends roll their eyes. I've held airline and hotel status for over 25 years, and I've been a member of online forums like FlyerTalk for decades.
Although I've traveled to dozens of countries across five continents, everywhere but Australia and Antarctica, there's still plenty left to see.
Every photo on this site was taken by my wife or me, somewhere I've actually been. Nothing here is stock.
Every trip starts with a conversation about how you travel, not just where you are going. I build custom itineraries around your group, your pace, and your priorities. Once the plan is set, all you have to do is show up.
How I work
If you hold an Ikon, Epic, or Mountain Collective pass, I plan around it instead of ignoring it. If you don't have one, I can often supply lift tickets directly.
Personal attention on every inquiry. No call center, just me, back to you within a day or two.
-
I handle the planning and the logistics. Lodging, transfers, lift tickets, ski school and/or guide bookings, plus the details most people don't think about until something goes wrong. The only thing left for you to do is show up.
-
No, working with me doesn't cost you anything. My recommendations aren't influenced by commission, I only suggest what actually fits your trip.
-
The sooner the better, availability for ski season and peak travel dates narrows fast, and reaching out early means more options. That said, last-minute openings do happen, so reach out even close to departure.
Questions people ask
-
Yes. Understanding how loyalty programs actually work is part of the job, I help you strategize toward real perks, lounge access, upgrades into business class, and getting more out of the miles and status you already have, not just collecting points for the sake of it.
-
Yes. I build every itinerary around whoever is actually traveling, a couple, several generations of the same family, or a boys' or girls' trip.
-
No. I plan high-end travel worldwide. Island escapes, safaris, city trips, and ski vacations. I love planning ski trips, but it's only a small part of what I do.
