I am always trying to find the stories and personalities that bring a tour to life. I want those on my tours to imagine what it was like to live in that time as I take them through it. By presenting the inside stories you will have history presented to you with a depth you have not experienced before. On the Civil War, Revolution and Kennedy tour you will learn much more than the facts of history. You will be brought back to a time of great battles over many of the issues we still face today. You will understand the passions that lead to the Civl War and the abolition of slavery and the unique role the City of Boston played in history. The tour of the revolution will tell the often untold story of the crucial role of Boston's street gangs and how the hero's of the Revolution worked to organize them toward rebellion. On the Kennedy and the family story will he told along with issues of health care, immigration and political battles. At Harvard I walk you through Harvard's long journey from an elitist school for Protestant men to one of the countries most diverse universities. . Graduate of International Tour Management Institute. Graduate of Northeastern University and UMass Boston, where I studied history, sociology and city planning. Member of Greater Boston Tourist Association. Tour guide for the Kennedy Tour of Boston as a member of the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Ted shared the stories behind the scenes of the revolutionary spirit in Boston that you don't find in textbooks. We gained an understanding of the reasons Boston was a ripe location from which to ignite the colonies' efforts for independence. Ted told the historical story well and tied events together. We recommend the tour.
