About Me
Greetings from the city of brotherly love—Philadelphia! I am a proud father, devoted husband, and a Disney Parks and Resorts super fan! I work as a science and tech policy analyst to fund my family’s Disney obsession. When I’m not working or hanging out with the family, you can find me on the running trails, and most likely at the next runDisney race! As DVC members, we have made countless memories during stays at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the beach resorts like Aulani and Vero Beach, and I’ll be sharing my own tips and experiences to help you do the same!
About My Family
My wife—a Disney College Program alum—and I have two toddler princesses. We have been fortunate enough to celebrate many milestone events at various Disney resorts, including first birthdays, anniversaries, and a baby moon. You can usually find us strolling, snacking, and collecting Kidcot stamps along Epcot’s World Showcase or decked out in our Beauty and the Beast-themed apparel acting out our daughters’ favorite movie at Enchanted Tales with Belle!
About My Disney Experience
As a 90s kid, I loved watching and re-watching the classics of the era, especially my personal favorite, Aladdin! However, it wasn’t until my first Disney resort stay many years later that I fell in love with and gained an appreciation for the magic of the Disney parks. As a former engineer, I have a deep appreciation for the ingenuity and creativity of the Imagineers and their ability to bring to life all of our favorite Disney movies. Fast forward to 2021, our family cemented our dedication to Disney vacations by joining DVC and we haven’t looked back since. We call Saratoga Springs, the Grand Floridian, and Riviera our homes, but we’ve stayed at nearly every DVC resort! I look forward to helping you get the most out of your DVC membership!
