Welcome to the New York U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association:

While growing up in Glens Falls, New York, I would go on vacations with my family all over New York, the New England area, and along the east coast. My parents wouldn’t take the Interstates because they didn’t want my brothers and me to miss out on seeing our country. Traveling those “back roads” left me craving for more of the tourism industry.

I attended Adirondack Community College in upstate New York where I graduated with two Associate degrees in Media Arts and Travel and Tourism. After graduating I transferred to the University of Central Missouri where I obtained two Bachelor degrees, one in Photography and one in Tourism Management. I love to travel and it wasn’t until I moved to the Midwest that I had the chance to experience more of America. On my many trips, I meet the most interesting people and familiarized myself with many of our nation’s historic landmarks. The places to see, people to meet, and things to do, are all part of a journey that everyone should take along the “back roads” of America.

Preserving our nation’s history is essential to the future of tourism. I want to be a part of that movement; I want to be involved in all aspects of that project. The mission of U.S. Route 6 Tourism Association is a goal that I want to help market and promote to the public. Through my photographs, determination, and enthusiasm I want to help protect the past, present, and future of America’s longest highway.

To accomplish our Mission requires a team effort. We need to establish an Advisory Committee that is representative of the cities, towns and rural communities located along New York’s Historic Grand Old Highway. I would welcome the opportunity to meet and talk with community leaders about the goals of the New York U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.
