Profile

Handcrafting the most genuine and authentic walking tours. That’s what motivates me and our team — in our La Jolla HQ and around the world — every day. We believe that every guest should have a trip of a lifetime, and that the finest way to accomplish that is on foot at eye level. And if you’ve traveled with us 15 times, then lucky you… you’ve had 15 trips of a lifetime. It was a love of all things travel that motivated me to stow my banker’s briefcase and exchange it for a carry-on bag. But that wasn’t the original plan. The career path was finance, right up through the MBA from Northwestern. But banking didn’t fuel my soul. My passion is in connecting with people of different cultures, and immersing myself and others in a region—while still enjoying the creature comforts. It drove my wife and me to start Classic Journeys when we saw an unserved niche—cultural walking adventures.
