About Me
I am a husband and father to four kids who keep me on my toes, but also remind me to look for the magic in everything. And there is no place that makes that magic come alive for our family like a Walt Disney World vacation! When I’m not planning our next Disney adventure, you can find me coaching my kids’ sports teams, trying out a new restaurant, or spending time with my family and friends.
About My Family
I am married to my Mrs. Incredible and we have a family of four little supers! Our kids range in ages from toddler to teenager: one Violet, two Dashes, and our sweet caboose is most definitely a little baby Jack Jack! We love a good road trip, and most roads lead straight to Walt Disney World! We are just one state away from the magic and hop in the car for a visit any chance we get. From baby announcements, to Birthday celebrations, magical moments and more — Disney has been a part of so many memories for my family and I can’t wait to help you create magic for you and the people you love!
About My Disney Experience
My family didn’t visit Walt Disney World growing up, so my first visit was during my high school senior trip. Picture this: 2000s…18 year old…armed with a Disney dining plan. I literally fell in love with Disney at first snack! And things haven’t changed much because one of my favorite parts about planning Walt Disney World vacation still is discovering the incredible dining that can be found throughout every part of the resort.
I’m excited about the opportunity to help you plan your own Disney vacation and make memories to last a lifetime!
