I graduated from Fanshawe College with a Travel & Tourism degree in 1977. For over 40 years I have loved my career in travel. I began by working in London On. at DAA as a full service Travel Agent in the International Travel Dept servicing corporate accounts. In 1979, moved to Toronto as a Station Manager with Great Lakes Airlines working closely with Air Canada at Pearson Airport. In 1980 I moved to Vancouver B.C. and joined Great West Holidays, a ski tour operator. Back to Toronto in 1984 as Operations Manager with Thomson Vacations until 1986. My career continued and in 1994 purchased and managed a Cruise Holiday Franchise store. During these 12 years built strong relationships with cruise, airlines and hotel industries. Obtained multiple industry awards from various premium cruise lines as well, was a member of the Franchise Advisory Board representing the Canadian Central region franchise owners from 2001 to 2006.
After the sale of the franchise in 2006, teamed with Vision Travel formerly Vision 2000 Travel.
Today, my career continues to advise, plan and service cruise, land and air requirements for individuals and group.
