Meet The Experts Behind Your Next Adventure
Who We Are
My name is Matthew, and I am the co-owner, CEO, and lead advisor of North Star Trips and Travel. My love for travel started at a young age when my family took a trip every year, no matter how tight the budget. My parents saved diligently, ensuring we always explored somewhere new. Some years were leaner than others, but the memories we created were priceless. These experiences shaped my belief that travel isn’t just a luxury—it’s an essential part of life. From the moment I started traveling, I knew I wanted to be part of the travel industry.
Before launching North Star Trips and Travel, I worked for a major airline and a well-known amusement park, gaining firsthand experience in the travel and hospitality industries. These roles deepened my passion for helping others experience the joys of travel while also teaching me invaluable lessons about exceptional customer service. Now, as a husband and father to two young daughters, Charlotte and Chloe, I’m committed to providing my family with the same enriching travel experiences I had growing up. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious escape or a budget-friendly adventure, my goal is to ensure every trip is seamless, unforgettable, and tailored to your needs. At North Star Trips and Travel, we believe that travel is for everyone, and we’re here to make your dream vacation a reality.
I am Gary, co-owner and senior advisor. With a lifelong passion for travel and a dedication to exceptional customer service, I bring a wealth of experience to our travel agency. As a retired military professional and over 20 years of additional government service, I have had the privilege of exploring numerous countries, experiencing different cultures, and discovering the joys of travel firsthand. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the transformative power of travel and the importance of creating unforgettable journeys for others.
At our travel agency, we believe that every traveler is unique, and every trip should be tailored to fit individual needs and desires. We don’t specialize in just one type of travel—we serve all travelers, from those seeking luxury escapes to adventure seekers, family vacations, and everything in between.
