I grew up in Lincoln, R.I. which is a Blue-Collar town. Went To Babson University School of Business graduated with a BSBA in 1966. Worked my way around The USA for 6 months. Two years later I traveled with the son of the richest man in the world covering 19,988 miles, 12 countries, and 10 weeks. Then I went to work at Broadway Tire Inc. and 20 years later bought the business. I then owned and operated it for 30 more years before retiring in 2016! In Between, I met and married my wife Ronna and had two beautiful children and now I have 5 grandchildren! The love of travel remained with me, and I've been fortunate enough to have visited 75 Countries each in a unique style all my own way, using much of which I learned in my travels with Maurice in 1968.
