I have worked as a tour guide in Philadelphia since retiring from the Department of Defense in 2014. My primary tour groups are students and International visitors but I rarely say no to any company or individual who wants to see my city. As a native Philadelphian, living in the area most of my life, I have a passion for our rich history, particularly the18th century and I love to tell the stories that surround our nation’s birthplace.
I have been an active member of the Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides, serving on the Board since 2015 and as President from 2019-2023. I also recently chaired the 2025 NFTGA Conference Committee that was held in Philadelphia and have received many accolades about the conference. Serving on the NFTGA Board, I hope to get more cities and tour guide groups involved in networking and sharing our stories.
