My background reads like a deliberate experiment in contrast. Hermosa Beach. London. Chicago. A small lake in Wisconsin with no stoplight in sight. Each place taught me something different about how people actually live -- not just how they travel -- and that distinction shapes every trip I plan.

I spent more than twenty years in senior marketing and consumer insights before founding Blue Spring Lake Travel. That background gives me a unique perspective with a disciplined eye for structure, pacing, and the details that look small on paper but feel extraordinary in practice...a driver waiting with an ice cold drink after a long international flight and an upgraded room ready hours early so your vacation can start as soon as you arrive.

I specialize in trips designed around how they actually feel, not just what they include. My clients want a honeymoon that feels designed rather than assembled, a family trip where the logistics disappear and the experience remains, or an anniversary that reflects something real about who they are as travelers. My expertise runs deepest in French Polynesia, but the through line across every trip I plan is the same: nothing left to chance, nothing left to generic.
