Your vacation is the story you want told

I firmly believe the greatest stories begin with you and the people you love. For me, that’s my husband and three children—Niko, Joey, & Fitz.

They’re stories you share with your family and friends—no matter who that is and what that looks like—that get passed down generation after generation. Those stories & adventures make you smile. They’re the ones you share forever on social.

My goal is to help you write a story that stands out in your life. That might be a trip to the most magical place on Earth, an adventure through the Forbidden Forest, or even the excitement of your first cruise. 

No matter the path you take on your adventure, my goal is for you to have a story you will remember and share forever.

Concierge Service

Personalized support for you from the moment you book through the planning process and while you’re traveling.

Fee Free Approach

I don’t believe in charging fees for planning your perfect vacation. The only additional costs you will ever see are completely optional and are not required for an amazing trip. They are simply an added convenience

Applying Promotions

I monitor promotions and automatically apply them to save you money.

Expert Knowledge & Resources

I have extensive firsthand, in destination experience during multiple stages of my life. I use my perspective as a husband, father, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community to share and apply my wealth of knowledge.

Access to Me & Other Magic Makers

I know what I know and I know it well. Most importantly, I know what I don’t know. That’s where the Magic Makers at Once Upon a Time Vacations step in. If it’s something I can learn, I’ll learn it. If it’s not something in my wheelhouse, I’ll connect you with an expert. Your story matters more than my ego.

My Fee Free Services

  • You book your trip directly through me.

    • You don’t pay me for anything.

    • You don’t pay additional fees anywhere.

    • The only additional costs you will ever see are completely optional and are a connivence.

  • If you’ve booked everything on your own, we can work to transfer it over.

    If for some reason we cannot, I can rebook you or we can discuss a planning fee of $250 for my expertise.

    Add $100 if exceeding 8 total guests.

Please Note: While I don’t believe in charging fees, I only get compensated for my time when a guest travels on a vacation I’ve booked. I love answering questions, but I ask that you respect my knowledge and expertise by not taking it and booking somewhere else.
