I am the Co-Owner and President of Savour Italy, bringing over 20 years of global marketing and strategic leadership experience to guide the evolution of our brand and the journeys we create. After a corporate career in technology, my passion for culture, travel, and meaningful connections ultimately led me to become a full-time entrepreneur.

In addition to Savour Italy Tours, we are also the proud owners of a marketing agency, AirBnB business, AI startup and business acquisition consulting firm. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife, our two dogs, and our beautiful daughter, exploring nature, traveling the world, and staying involved in our community.
