About
Gary’s love of travel grew naturally out of a long career in the entertainment world. After more than 20 years working in radio and TV and making on‑screen appearances in shows like Dawson’s Creek and Matlock, he followed his other passion — cruising and travel — and for the past 15+ years has been crafting unforgettable journeys for his clients.
Already experienced at sea (he'd sailed on 14 cruises before entering the industry), Gary has now logged 100+ cruises and brings deep, hands‑on expertise to every booking. Gary has also hosted a wide range of cruises — including an extended 3+ month Grand South America & Antarctica voyage — giving him deep expertise in long‑haul itineraries and the ports of South America.
He combines hands‑on travel experience with an entertainer’s knack for storytelling and detail, creating trips that feel effortless and memorable. Gary’s own travels span adventurous and exotic destinations — from Antarctica and South Africa to the iconic scenery of Europe — so he can offer practical, personalized recommendations no matter the style of trip.
Gary works with families, couples, and solo travelers on everything from luxury Caribbean cruises and romantic all‑inclusive escapes to escorted land vacations and scenic river cruises. He’s a member of ASTA and holds a CTA from The Travel Institute, along with destination specializations that range from Alaska to Australia. Gary focuses on making every journey seamless, enriching, and joyful — not just a booking, but a memory in the making.
Gary invites you to explore the world together and he can make your travel dreams come true!
