My love affair with international travel started in my early twenties. After receiving an Economics diploma from my hometown university in Montréal, I set out to explore Asia, Australia and Africa and parts of Europe. My travels continued for almost four years as I explored the globe. In 1994 I returned to Canada, moved to Vancouver and, at the age of 24, opened Entrée Canada. My mission was to create the top travel company in Canada, featuring unique itineraries, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and the most exotic Canadian destinations one could offer to a luxury traveler. In 2005 I acquired the top destination management company in Alaska and created Entrée Alaska, with the same mission of operating only the finest customized tours across Alaska.Today Entrée Canada and Entrée Alaska (combined as Entrée Destinations) employ over 20 talented staff members and they continue to realize and share my vision of being the undisputed leader of unique (and usually luxurious) travel experiences throughout the region. My team has served the highest-profile guests that exist, among them heads of state, celebrities and corporate leaders. Entrée Destinations is the preferred partner for Virtuoso (a leading consortia of luxury travel agents and vendors), American Express Platinum & Centurion and the top tour operators and travel agents on the planet; the A-List of travel.My team is called upon to perform the impossible, to create over-the-top experiences and to showcase the best that Canada and Alaska has to offer…often with no budget and a trip that stretches as far as our imagination will allow. We engineer and deliver exceptional experiences and continue to be the choice for the world’s top echelon of travellers.I live in Vancouver with my wife Karen and our children Jack and Sofia, who I (quietly) hope will one day build on my vision of showcasing Canada and Alaska to the world.
