Dennis is also a classic car enthusiast. He owns a 1969 Chevy Camero. So it is natural that he is the Chairman of our Classic Car Show in the fall.

Past President and current Treasurer
I’ve been in the travel business for over 22 years. I started my career with American Airlines. I choose to start a family and moved over to corporate travel where my main focus was corporate incentive travel and leisure travel. Every day is a great day as I enjoy my job! It’s a constant change and I learn something new every day. My customers are fantastic and make my job a pleasure to come to work. They have the best stories to share. I am a resident of Whittier for over 12 years. I have a 10 year old son who enjoys the benefits of my work and also enjoys traveling with mom or dad and any grandparent willing to take him on vacation. I am the manager at Laguna Travel in Whittier. I joined the Kiwanis club because I wanted to give back to the community where I live and work. This group has given me the avenues I was searching for to give back in many areas-many of which I didn’t realize need my help. I am lucky to be part of this team! I look forward to serving the community. The smiles and memories made are priceless!
