Perdido Key Concierge

After a multi-decade career in the military and as a Marine Aviator and Flight Instructor, I developed a love of adventure and travel. Out of a desire to share this love with others, Perdido Key Concierge was born. In 2007 I started providing full-service vacation planning to those who wanted to experience the luxury of Perdido Key and other destinations along the Gulf Coast. 

I spent over two decades as a pilot in the Marines, after which I was a commercial airlines pilot. I learned a lot about the importance of planning, logistics, and why the smallest of details matter the most. The success of any operation, whether we are talking about a luxury vacation or a business plan, comes down to preparation and execution. During this time, I had also truly come to appreciate the value of rest and relaxation. When the demands of work and family take a lot of energy and focus, it is a necessity to find time to travel and recharge. Basically, everyone needs a good vacation.

However, we have all had that experience of spending so much time planning for a vacation and making it happen that we end up even more exhausted when we return. It takes so much energy to find places to eat or book excursions, that we need a vacation from our vacation. I created Perdido Key Concierge to take the burden of planning and preparing your vacation off your shoulders. I take on the stress of all the logistics and details so that you can have all the fun.

Everyone has their own idea of a perfect vacation. Some people envision laying on the beach with their own personal cabana. Others are looking for an adventure, filled with horseback riding and deep sea fishing. No matter what’s your idea of a perfect vacation, I take personal pride in ensuring that you have the perfect getaway experience. 

My 20-year experience as a pilot for the Marines and commercial airlines instilled in me an understanding that perfect planning results in perfect execution. I wanted to share this insight with others. To help hone my skills and their application to a variety of businesses, I earned a BS in Management Sciences and a MS in Management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I also worked toward a MBA in International Business Development from the University of Iowa. The combination of my extensive schooling and my real world professional experience, makes me a tremendous asset to other business owners. This led me to founding Creative Development Solutions, a business dedicated to helping others with problem solving and logistics. 

The bottom line is that the devil is always in the details. This is true of your dream destination vacation or a complex aviation problem. It is my life mission to handle the details that matter most, as well as the ones that you do not even realize matter. Allow me to use my diligence and relentless problem solving to ensure that your vacation goes off without a hitch. Rest and relaxation are too important to leave to chance. I’m here to make your dream of a perfect vacation my personal mission.
