My Story
Luxury isn’t just about five-star hotels and first-class flights — it’s about effortless experiences, impeccable service and those little moments that make a trip unforgettable. That’s where I come in.
I grew up in a small town in West Virginia, but my dreams were always bigger than my zip code. Now, I spend my days curating extraordinary journeys for travelers who crave the best of the best. Whether it’s a private villa on the Amalfi Coast, a hidden gem in Kyoto or a perfectly planned city escape, I know how to find the right place, the right experiences and the right details to make your trip seamless and spectacular.
Top-tier service and incredible food are my love languages, and I believe that travel should be indulgent but never complicated. I take care of the logistics so you can focus on the experience. Whether that’s sipping champagne at a Parisian bistro, chasing the Northern Lights in Norway or just unwinding somewhere breathtaking.
And when I’m not planning dream vacations? I’m busy with my greatest adventure — raising my son.
Let’s make your next trip one for the books. Where are we going?
Travel Style
Luxury travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how you feel when you get there. For me, it’s about seamless service, exclusive experiences and breathtaking destinations that let you escape the ordinary without battling the crowds. I seek out places where high-touch hospitality meets stunning surroundings, where every detail is handled so you can fully relax, recharge and enjoy.
I believe travel should be effortless yet unforgettable, indulgent but never overdone. Whether it’s a five-star resort tucked away from the tourist rush or a boutique property with unparalleled service, I curate experiences that feel both exclusive and deeply personal. My approach is simple: I expect the best, so I deliver the best.
Let me handle the details so you can focus on what truly matters. Whether that’s unwinding in a private villa, dining at a world-class restaurant or discovering a hidden gem that feels like it was meant just for you.

Michael was an amazing resource in planning our trip. It was a dream vacation that wouldn’t have run as smoothly as it did without his expertise and support. In addition to helping us plan for the trip he was readily available throughout the trip to help with questions we had along the way. I will absolutely use Michael’s services again for my next trip!

Five-Star Luxury on Paris' Left Bank
Last fall, I had the chance to visit the incredible Hotel Lutetia — the only five-star luxury hotel located on Paris' Left Bank. This property is absolutely stunning, with a fascinating detail: they used so much marble during its renovation that the foundation had to be reinforced to prevent it from sinking!
From the moment you step into the lobby, the impeccable service from the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. The concierge is attentive and quick to offer excellent recommendations for local cuisine and activities, ensuring your stay is seamless. And, of course, the rooms — opulent, comfortable and surprisingly spacious — are everything you’d expect from a hotel of this caliber.
When I return to Paris, there’s no question that I’ll be staying at the Lutetia again. It’s truly a standout experience on the Left Bank.
