I grew up in Southern California, where I was lucky enough to live 20 minutes from Disneyland, a place I considered a home away from home through most of my teen years. Escaping to Disneyland as often as I did and working there for a time, I recognized the healing power of play and wonder – regardless of age. With each trip to Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort, that reality has only grown.

I love to read, help people, hike, cook, and hang out with my family. I have been married to my wife for 17 years and have a sixteen-year-old daughter who is just as passionate about helping people have fantastic Disney vacations as I am.
