Mike was heavily influenced by his group travel experience in band during his high school and college career. His trips included going to New York City, Hawaii, San Antonio, Dublin, and more! Mike made life long memories on those trips which influenced his decision to take his current students on similar experiences. Mike is excited to begin his journey with Guardian helping others find the same joy in group travel!
