As a 15-year industry veteran, Marc has created mutual value in an array of relationship-building roles throughout the travel supply-chain. He has fostered relationships amongst tour operators, travel agent networks, independent agents, regional DMC’s, travel technology, UX/UI, marketing, brand development, and consumer-facing direct sales. Professionally he thrives in the convergence of creative people and ideas and has found his second home here with Travelstride. He aims to always make 2+2=10 and believes a personal touch in every aspect of business and life is essential to making every relationship flourish.

His passion for travel is ingrained from his experience of living abroad for over 20 years in Latin America, enmeshing himself deeply in other cultures. Marc was born and raised in Austin, but his love and passion for travel were ignited exploring Central & South America - living in Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and Uruguay. He's explored everything from the beaches of Mexico & Brazil, to the colorful culture in Guatemala, the rainforests of Costa Rica, the depths of the Amazon of Peru, and a handful of hikes & trekking to the magnificent ruins at Machu Picchu. In his travels and spare time he enjoys taking to the wind and water to kite board and over the years has found yoga and meditation to open the mind for curiosity and exploration.
