“After taking a spontaneous road trip
involving Mothman, a haunted hotel, a
dead cave and epic mountain horse-
back ride, we decided we had to plan
trips like this for other people.” “I’ve worked in travel and technology
for 20 years. In addition to helping
tour operators work smarter, I love
exploring nature with my wife, dog
and an epic soundtrack.”
