My wife and I moved to Charleston's old and historic district 22 years ago and immediately fell in love with it's beauty and charm. We wanted to know everything we could about this wonderful city and become involved. My wife became a licensed city guide early on and I served on a number of community boards including a 2 year term as the chairman of the BAR (board of architectural review) committee for the Charlestonwne neighborhood. I acquired my tour guide license more recently and get great pleasure telling travelers about the history and long standing customes of this beautiful historic city. All my tours can be customized upon request. Licensed city guide and a 22 year resident of the old and historic district None
