About Us
In the Beginning:
Rancher Dave is a name selected as a user name for one web site where chatting about cruises is the focus. To that end there were good reasons for the choice of that name. Since then that name has grown to be used by more and different web sites, including technically face book.
The Growing Years:
Over the years as I've participated in more chat/blog style web sites I've carried thru the use of the user name Rancher Dave. I've done so since it allows my followers to continue to follow me over on other web sites for one. Many of these sites are travel related although others are focused on ranching and others on seafarers and being at sea.
As many folks wanted to be able to get in contact with me to ask questions outside the public realm, it made sense to add a web site focused on the Rancher Dave name and person behind it. From there this site was developed, or more accurately a one page web site was created followed by a replacement one page site and finally this multi page site with more information and links to information found on other of my web sites.
Where we're going:
Ultimately this site may include a number of pictures from travels all in one spot. That is still under consideration since between my travel agency site and cruise agency site there are many pictures. Of course my face books personal, cruise agency, travel agency, and ranch pages all also contain other pictures.
This site may also host interactive blogs about travel, cruising, and even health insurance related topics. By hosting them here folks who know about one subject area can easily also read and participate in other discussions as well.
Team Bio:
Rancher Dave: David who goes by either David or Dave is a family man, the father to one and a husband as well. David is a hard working business owner and rancher. David likes to have fun as well and as most know loves to travel around the world meeting new and exciting people all along the way. David holds a BA in Economics from The University of Texas in Austin, Texas and a Masters of Health Administration from the College of Public Health at The University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. David is glad to have also earned before college, while still in high school, a certificate of training as a travel agent. David uses the training and practical experience in these realms to assist his clients with insurance and travel needs. David's work experience since college has focused on healthcare delivery and healthcare finance with a strong emphasis on health insurance. Healthcare delivery and finance is a very complex realm constantly changing. Thru those changes David worked for various providers and eventually for a large insurance company before moving into selling the products. Thus, David can bring to the group administrators a lot of knowledge about how health plans work from the inside out allowing customizations of plans for larger groups that best meet the group demographics and needs. David's love for travel has led him to share information via various web sites and more recently led to the decision to set up our own travel agency. Given our knowledge and ability to help others plan awesome cruise and destination vacations we decided as a family it was time to once again make money off travel planning. Thus the travel agency was set up. Of course Dave loves to volunteer which generally is aimed specifically at helping others. Beyond that he loves to travel and really have a good time seeing the world, learning more about different cultures, and enjoying himself. |
