Before I met my wife I never had a passport and never really travelled anywhere except on a couple of cruises, and some trips to Canada (ask me about the Coke drinking bear) and Florida (South of the Border anyone?) as a child. My idea of travel was a trip to Marco Island or the Florida Keys.All that changed in 2007 when I started traveling for work – first to the Caribbean every week (someone had to do it) then globally as a sales consultant. (Yes, my wife Valerie was ready to divorce me after I went to Istanbul without her!).

Within 3 years I was on my second passport, within 10 I had my 3rd passport. I’ve now traveled over 3,000,000 miles and visited over 50 countries.

I’ve earned top tier and lifetime status on most of the airlines and hotels – earning millions of points to use for vacations with Valerie and our family.

My passions – and frustrations – include mysteries, escape rooms and puzzles….so it was only natural that I wanted to know how could I leverage my points to fly better, nicer and for less. Amassing points is actually pretty easy – learning how to use them wisely became the challenge, a game, a jigsaw puzzle of putting all the pieces together just right.Whether using points or cash, I can help you get where you want to go with better value.
