A Few Things I’m Proud Of

I don’t love tooting my own horn, but a few things have happened along the way that felt worth sharing here instead of letting them live and die in a single blog post or social caption. Here’s some of it.

Recognized by Azamara’s CEO

At the 2026 Outside Agents National Conference, Azamara’s CEO Dondra Ritzenthaler stood in front of about 400 fellow advisors and chose to highlight me, out of more than 13,000 advisors across our entire host agency network. She talked about persistence and about building real relationships with clients, the kind of work that doesn’t show up on a spreadsheet but makes all the difference in how a trip actually goes. Being chosen out of that many advisors is still setting in, if I’m honest.

Part of Outside Agents’ Opulence Division

I was accepted into the Opulence division of Outside Agents, my host agency’s invitation only group for advisors focused on luxury travel. For me, luxury isn’t about designer labels or price tags. It’s about space, fewer crowds, thoughtful service, and a pace that actually lets you enjoy where you are. Being part of Opulence gives me direct access to training, supplier relationships, and resources built specifically for that kind of travel.

Ranked Among Outside Agents’ Top Advisors

Outside Agents runs a Top 150 Movers & Shakers ranking every month, based on growth from one month to the next. I’ve landed on that list more than once, climbing as high as #17. For 2025, I also ranked #50 for annual sales growth and Top 25 for Azamara sales specifically. None of that happens by accident. It’s a direct result of clients trusting me with their trips, then trusting me again the next time.

What Clients Say
