About Us

A BUSINESS THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN PERSONAL

In 1989, co-founders Jeff and Craig met as dorm-mates at the University of Michigan. What started mostly as an attempt to get a free spring break trip became their lifelong passion.

MAKE BUSINESS PERSONAL

Connecting people to collaborate is what we’re about. We work hard to deliver the best experience to each traveler, teammate, travel manager, and partner, greasing wheels to give people more power to grow further.

THINK UNCONVENTIONALLY

We go for great, embracing diversity and out of the box thinking. We don't allow constraints to limit, but fearlessly reinvent new ways to unlock value. We reward ideas from everyone.

BE RADICALLY HONEST

Tell It Like It Is. Hear It How It Is. Really. Give honest feedback, recognize that sometimes that might be tough to say and hear. But if we are true, we build trust with customers, partners and each other.

KEEP IT FUN

Lines between work and personal are blurring and each inspires the other. We keep the mood light, positive, and creative for customers and ourselves. We keep things real, human and fun.
