I'm the only former National Park Service Ranger offering tours in Savannah. I’ve been voted Savannah's Best Tour Guide by both Savannah Magazine and Connect Savannah Magazine, and my tours are consistently voted the city's Best Walking Tours by readers of those publications. In 2023, I was even named Savannah's "Best All-Around Resident!" I graduated with distinction from the Virginia Military Institute (History Major, of course). My historic and interpretive skills were honed while serving as a Park Ranger at the Richmond National Battlefield Park. Additionally, I had an article published wherein I argued that Civil War battles may have caused rain (Ask me about it – I’ll send you the link. It’s OK to decline and call me a nerd.). All-in-all, I bring over fifteen years of historian/tour experience to your tour. In fact, our tours have been featured on the Travel Channel, the New York Times, and Georgia Public Broadcasting (NPR). The majority of Savannah tours are "anecdotal" tours, meaning guides merely provide a few facts about the buildings and monuments they encounter. I use my Park Service training to create tours centered around a narrative, ensuring guests walk away with a deep understanding of the tour's subject matter. I am also one of the few Certified Tour Guides of Savannah, having passed the exam now offered by the Tourism Leadership Council. I am a member of the Georgia Historical Society, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, and the Friends of Honey Hill, an organization actively preserving and interpreting the Honey Hill Battlefield in South Carolina. Once you inevitably learn of my interest in craft beer, it will not surprise you to know I'm a co-founder and Board Member of Richmond Beeristoric, a 501(c)(3) that leads tours of beer-related historic sites in Richmond, Virginia. I recently resigned from my full-time legal practice to focus on my passion: Showing folks around my hometown of beautiful Savannah.

Revolutionary Savannah was truly a father against son affair. We'll begin with Governor Wright's leadership during the 1760's and the Stamp Act's effects in Georgia. You'll meet the Liberty Boys and see the site of their infamous meeting place. We'll continue through the outbreak of war, the Declaration of Independence, and a duel that changed Georgia's direction. The British returned to town, and we'll cover that in detail. You'll see the Spring Hill Redoubt where the Siege of Savannah came to a bloody end. We'll conclude with the Revolution's massive impacts on Savannah. Other possible stops may include sites related to George Washington's 1791 visit and the William Jasper and Casimir Pulaski Monument.
