Tour Producer

I'm a native Washingtonian who's a lifelong journalist and third-generation tour guide. And oh, I'm related to Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth and co-conspirator Mary Surratt. You'll hear the inside stories when touring Washington with me. Besides the Lincoln assassination, my tours include Lafayette Park by the White House, Kennedy homes in Georgetown, Embassy Row, White House ghost stories, Presidential drinking stories and nearby Old Town Alexandria plus Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, my favorite place in the world.
