My passion is people and how I can positively impact their lives. Whenever we can, my wife of over 30 years and I love to travel and learn about people and their way of life.
Q. What inspired you to become a guide?
I have been fortunate enough to visit many cities throughout Europe and have always enjoyed walking tours, learning about each city's history and culture. Guiding is a great way for me to reciprocate and help our guests coming to visit Niagara Falls create wonderful memories!
Q. What do you love most about Niagara Falls?
Niagara Falls not only showcases the magnificence of the three falls, but also highlights the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
Q. What's your favorite story to tell on tour?
I enjoy telling the stories about our high wire daredevils, especially Nik Wallenda's crossing of the Horseshoe Falls in 2012!
I'm a retired restauranteur and worked in the industry for over 20 years.
I'm an avid golfer.
I love to travel and explore the world in my free time.
Q: Best time of year to enjoy Niagara Falls?
The fall months, mid-October for sure! Fewer people, the changing colors of our trees, and of course, the bottling of our local wines.
Q: What do you tell your visiting friends to see in Niagara Falls?
I suggest to catch all the major attractions, but also be sure to check out the Botanical Gardens and the Butterfly Conservatory. Simply breathtaking!!
Q: What are some unmissable foods and drinks?
While a lot of guests are looking for poutine, which is a fabulous Canadian treat, I would recommend pizza from Napoli Restaurant, homemade pasta from Corso Restaurant or the Pacific Salmon from Weinkeller Restaurant!! Niagara ice wine is always a great idea!
