From a young age, Terence was surrounded by a culture of internationalism: from being a host-brother to international Up With People students for 11 years to working side by side with Mexican immigrants in the fields on the family farm in Central New Mexico; from learning the stories of developing countries from his missionary Godfather to growing up in a Latino community as a minority.
His love of cross-culturalism grew out of his parents' example of acceptance of all people no mater their stage of development, whatever their race, creed, and culture. This naturally lead to a desire to communicate with many different people in order to share the love of God in human lives.

Terence began his language studies as early as Fourth Grade with Spanish, and later three years of French in High School and two years of accelerated Spanish in two semesters at university. His Honor's courses covered old-English literature. He went on to earn his BA degree in Modern & Classical Languages with a minor in Journalism and Communications as a Presidential Scholar from the University of New Mexico. He lived abroad as an exchange student to a French Canadian University for a year and a half. For two and a half years he also double-majored in Astronomy.
After living in squaterville Mexico while offering his services in social work, Terence would later tour as a student and Event Coordinator in Up With People and as a key performer and community service leader through The Festival World Tour 1995-96.
He would later return to another French Canadian University to acquire Certification in Missiology through theology and socio-cultural religious anthropology studies, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
For about six years, Terence worked in the IT field in various capacities, including database management, small-business computerization, and tri-lingual technical support. It was a natural transition for him to move from the Information industry into Travel and Tourism, where he could combine his computer skills with his love of people, culture, and travel.
Terence was trained extensively in cross-cultural communications and relations in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Through his Anthropology studies, Up With People, and on-the-job experiences, Terence has now lived, worked, and traveled through 11 countries.
He has been a Tour Guide in Alaska, California, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Ontario, Canada, Quebec, Canada, and in Venezuela. As a Tour Director he holds international credentials from the International Tour Management Institute out of San Francisco, CA. While traveling as a Tour Director, he often works as the Tour Narrator and local Tour Guide, offering edutainment to passengers while opening their minds and expanding their horizons to new cultures and environments. | | |
