A Detroit-area family with deep professional roots, a shared love of the open road, and a goldendoodle with very strong opinions, especially when it comes to treats.
Alex navigates the middle-market professional world by day and I-75 by weekend. With nearly two decades of experience building lasting companies, he saves the corporate talk for the office and the road trip planning for the driveway.
Known for his non-negotiable standards for "real" road trips and a meticulously curated collection of audiobooks, Alex is the primary driver and unofficial historian of the family's many travels.
With more than 15 years supporting C-suite leadership and over 5 years in association and large-scale conference management, Denise brings seasoned expertise across Detroit and Grand Rapids. She specializes in turning complexity into clarity.
On the road, Denise designs the journey—always on the lookout for historical landmarks, presidential stops, and the stories behind them. She ensures every mile has a purpose and that a well-timed snack is always within reach.
Her steady organization keeps both work and travel running smoothly. Henry, in particular, appreciates her consistent advocacy for extra treats and extended time outdoors.
"If the car is moving, I am in it."
Henry is a goldendoodle with more road time than most travel influencers.
He will judge you and your snacks. Subpar treats are promptly rejected. Averaging 100+ hotel nights a year, he’s well on his way to becoming Hilton’s unofficial mascot.
From the Great Lakes to the mountains. Every stop gets a photo. Not every photo gets Henry’s approval.
