I provide specialized insight while arranging customer entry to attractions, military bases, and clubs not normally accessible to the general public. As an eighteen-year resident of the National Capital Region I have studied the history of the area, visited each of its important sites, and discovered extraordinary exhibits, archives, and artifacts not widely known to the public. I'm a twenty-year veteran Navy Officer and graduate of the Marine Corps Command and Staff College. I'm now in my sixth year as a full-time professional guide. I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA with my two pre-teen children. - I have received both doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination - Twenty year Navy Officer - MA Military Studies, Marine Corps Command and Staff College, Quantico, VA, June 2011 - Licensed Tour Guide, District of Columbia - Memberships: DC Guild of Professional Tour Guides Piazza Society, Mt Vernon Ladies Association Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association Association of the United States Army Association of the United States Navy United States Naval Institute Marine Corps University Foundation Visit Alexandria Friends of Carlyle House Gadsby's Tavern Museum Society
