Meet Judy

Judy understands the student travel industry, inside and out. She joins our team with 17 years of experience as a travel planner, but her experience as mom to her own traveling band kids is just as valuable. She’s created countless opportunities for students to make memories on tour, where the experiences they have change their lives forever. She loves creating connections with the directors we serve, learning more about who they are and what kinds of experiences their students will love.

My favorite travel memory

We were not a family that traveled when I was young – in fact, I did not fly until I was 45! So, my favorite travel memory is closer to home, at our cottage in Northen Michigan on the lake. As a family with my two adult children and four grandkids, we are on the lake in our boat all summer. We’ve made this our vacation spot for over 20 years.

My hobbies and pastimes

I love to cook and baking bread is my passion. Spending time with my granddaughters, three beagle pups, and friends and family at the lake or pool are my hobbies.

My favorite destination

Lake Michigan, Traverse City, with its wineries, water and sunshine. We go every year and spend time on the beach.

 

The personal touches that BRT provides. Your company gets to know the people they work with. I have never felt like a "number" with BRT.

I appreciated the flexibility Bob Rogers showed us with the billing and various payments we had to make. We thought we were adding more and ended up not but you were great about giving us extra time to work out what we needed to on our end.

BRT is always on top of all details. Even when something has slipped through the cracks, changed, or something unexpected comes up, BRT is flexible enough to make the changes needed to make everything right. We have always been so well taken care of and the personal attention is what makes your company special.

This was my 5th trip with Bob Rogers, and I appreciate the professionalism and also the willingness to work with me and my students to make each trip the very best it can be.

You make the process so easy - step-by-step of what needs to be done, guidance along the way, available (and quick) to respond to questions and making me feel like me and my students are your priority.

The quality of service that you provided us with was second to none. The organization and communication were exceptional and we always felt we were in “the loop” on things both before and during the trip.

BRT hands down has been the absolute best travel company I have worked with in my 18 years in education. My interactions with BRT have always been so much more than just traveling from one destination to another...the focus has always been on people and providing them with experiences of a lifetime.

From the scheduling, to planning, to overseeing, to leading, to customer service, everyone involved was courteous, prompt, and hospitable. Everyone did their jobs well and turned the trip experience into something better than we had anticipated.

Very Organized - even when problems develop. We've gone on enough trips with Bob Rogers to know how BRT operates - always first class, always prepared.

The whole BRT team was extremely attentive, accommodating and reliable. Every detail was attended to and my stress level the entire trip was at an all-time low.
