Welcome to my portfolio of professional experience in the Travel and Tourism industry.  Beyond experience in tours, I have more than ten years working in various capacities in Travel and Tourism.  My love of the wilderness and growing up mostly out-doors on a New Mexican farm have shaped my adventurous and independent spirit.  Here you will find just a taste of that which has prepared me to offer you quality, professional service.
