About Me: If you can imagine how someone feels winning a million dollar sweepstakes, then that is how I felt when I was selected for the Walt Disney World Mom’s Panel. A dream come true is truly what this is! Although I wasn’t fortunate enough to visit Walt Disney World as a child, I have certainly made up for it as an adult! In fact, the childhood spirit that resides in me always seems to burst out whenever I step foot on a Disney theme park or resort. My career is in information technology and I’ve blogged from time to time about my love for all things Disney. As a Disney dad, I’m constantly leading the charge on finding new adventures for my family at Walt Disney World come vacation time.

About My Family: In my household live a queen, a princess and a prince. I serve the role as court jester. My wife, the Queen, is a clinical counselor who I also joke serves as my personal therapist. My daughter and son are the joys of my world and keep me forever young. We set countdowns for everything from the next Disney trip to the next major Disney DVD release.

About My Disney Experience: The question for me is no longer whether I am going to Walt Disney World for vacation, but which event, resort, or theme park I plan to stay at or visit. Our family now looks towards Disney for almost all our vacation experiences, including off-site locations, such as Disney cruises, etc. Raising two younger children, I’m inspired to help all but especially those looking for a quality vacation experience while bringing their young ones. I have played a hand in securing a number of Disney vacations for friends, family, and coworkers. They value my input because of my own magical experiences. Disney is a part of many special moments in my life, and it is always a pleasure to help plan memorable occasions for others
