Co-founder

I’m the co-founder of Go and Do Travel, a premier group travel company specializing in faith-based journeys for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My career in travel spans more than three decades, beginning in 1993 when I started as an independent travel agent. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of guiding thousands of travelers across the globe. My travels have taken me to China, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Central America, Scandinavia, England, continental Europe, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and throughout North America. My passion is creating immersive, spiritually enriching experiences that help travelers connect with the ancient world and see how its lessons echo in modern life. For nearly 25 years, I’ve partnered with Bruce H. Porter, a renowned scholar of ancient scripture and languages. Together, we’ve led countless tours that combine historical insight with personal discovery, helping guests uncover the sacred stories written into the lands they explore. Each year, I spend about five months leading tours—a commitment that reflects both my love of travel and my desire to serve others through meaningful experiences. Go and Do Travel is proudly a family-run business: my son-in-law Garrett is a founding partner, and my other son-in-law Jacob—an IT specialist and U.S. Air Force veteran now serving in the Utah National Guard—recently joined the team to strengthen our digital infrastructure. Our company is supported by a dedicated team of attentive, capable employees who ensure every guest enjoys a seamless journey from booking to farewell. Their commitment to detail and guest satisfaction is a cornerstone of Go and Do Travel’s reputation for excellence. My wife, Christine, and I live in South Jordan, Utah. She serves as a hospital and hospice chaplain and shares my love of travel, joining me on tours whenever possible to bring her own compassionate spirit to the journey. Together, we’re the proud parents of four children and grandparents to ten wonderful grandchildren—with hopes for a few more to come.

Logistics Manager

Hi! I’m a University of Utah graduate with a degree in Tourism and Hospitality, and I’ve always had a passion for travel. I love helping others find their own excitement for exploring new places and creating meaningful experiences along the way. When I’m not dreaming up travel plans, you can usually find me with my husband - checking out new coffee shops, hanging out with our pup, or re-watching Parks & Recreation for the hundredth time.

Favorite Trip

My favorite place in the world is New York City during Christmas!

Jacob Strong

Director of Operations

My background is not in travel but technology. I studied Computer Science at USU, then I spent 4 years as an officer in the Air Force doing data analytics. I'm still in the Utah Air National Guard part time. Brian and Garrett invited me to work with them to modernize Go and Do operations. I've loved every second. When I'm not working I'm spending time with my wife and 3 kids or tinkering with computers and robotics.

Favorite Trip

A few years ago my wife and I took a last second impulsive trip to Bordeaux, France. It was a dream and I can't wait to go back.

Sales

I have been in sales and working with the public, for my entire career. I love the outdoors if just camping or traveling to new locations, I love it. I love a planned event or a weekend road trip, with family and friends. I have three children and four grandchildren, and when we spend time together, we love to play games. Grandpa Beck's card games especially and we laugh until we cry. I often have a baseball or football game going on in the background.

Favorite Trip

I always love the Momentum experiences that we have each year and I hope to meet you on one of them. I have traveled to Japan and that was amazing with the culture, history and of course the food! Every year I try and travel to a couple of unvisited ballparks with my kids which is the ultimate trip, for me.
