About Us
I started Good Vibes Vacay with one property, one camera, and the belief that Wisconsin deserved better vacation experiences.

The story behind the brand
Born and raised in Wisconsin, I grew up exploring the lakes, trails, ski slopes, and water parks. This love for adventure and Wisconsin’s beauty shapes Good Vibes Vacay, where we craft vacation experiences that capture the state's charm.
Professionally, my background has primed me to launch Good Vibes Vacay. As a top-performing realtor, a sales manager for major brands, and the owner of Virtual House Media, specializing in real estate photography and videography, I bring a deep understanding of real estate, marketing, and visual storytelling—skills that help us create exceptional vacation rentals.
In November 2022, my wife and I embarked on our own vacation rental journey with a fixer-upper. After overcoming unexpected challenges and a slow fall season, I immersed myself in industry resources, leading to strategic investments that made our property the top-grossing 8-capacity rental in Wisconsin Dells, outperforming the market average $47k with over $118k.

Good Vibes Vacay LLC is built on this experience and a passion for sharing Wisconsin’s best. We aim to deliver memorable stays and great returns, driven by industry expertise and a commitment to excellence.
