I started Prism for the reasons we all love travel—the destinations, the food, the stories. But more importantly, I started it because of a gap I saw in the industry. For many in the LGBTQ+ community, travel isn't just about a passport stamp; it’s about safety, dignity, and belonging. I wanted to provide my clients with more than just a vacation; I wanted to provide them with peace of mind. As a queer-owned and queer-focused boutique agency, my heartbeat is my community. While I proudly work with everyone, my specialty is ensuring our community can explore the world without ever feeling like they don't "fit in."
As my agency grew, I realized something: I wasn't the only one looking for a home. I searched for a queer-focused host agency to join—a place where I could grow alongside people who understood my perspective—and I realized they were incredibly hard to find.
So, I’m creating that space for you. Prism Premier Travel is expanding to welcome a new generation of travel advisors. Whether you are brand new to the industry or a seasoned pro looking for a network that actually "gets it," there is a seat for you here. My goal is to build a community of agents who are passionate about fostering safe, inclusive, and spectacular travel experiences for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
Let’s be real for a second. If you’re looking for a massive, faceless corporation with a call center and a thousand-page manual, I’m probably not your guy. But if you’re looking for a partner who is as invested in your success as you are? Welcome home.
I’m a Real Person (With a Serious Iced Coffee Habit)
When you partner with Prism Premier Travel, you’re partnering with me—Johnny. I’m the guy who is probably grabbing an iced coffee at 2:00 PM on a Thursday and wishing Marvel would finally bring Wanda back (we need her!). I’m a son, a friend, and a traveler just like you.
I say that because I want to drop the "professional facade." In our community, business is personal. When you call me for help with a complex booking, you aren't getting "Agent #402." You’re getting Johnny.
Your Goals > Their Numbers
Large agencies often care about one thing: what you bring in. To them, you’re a line on a spreadsheet. To me, you’re a colleague. I want to know:
What are your personal goals?
Why do you want to serve the LGBTQ+ community?
Are you happy with the balance of your business and your life?
If you aren't hitting your goals, we sit down and fix it together. I care about your happiness because a happy advisor creates a better world for our travelers.
The "Insider" Edge
I might not have forty years in a travel agency, but I have something many hosts don't: the inside track.
Hotel Management: I spent years running the show behind the scenes at hotels. I know how the industry works from the inside out.
The Academic Foundation: I have a degree in Hospitality Management. I didn't just stumble into this; I studied the art of service.
Proven Experience: I’ve been an agency owner for three years, navigating the highs and lows of the modern travel landscape.
I don’t have a massive team behind me, and I’m proud of that. It means I can’t "compete" with the big guys on volume—but they can’t compete with me on heart. You’ll always have a real person in your corner who knows your name, your brand, and your "why."
