Group Tours Team

KaraKara

Hired in 2008 as the Finance Manager, Kara has had many positions since. 10 years later, Kara is now the President of the company. She has a BS in accounting and an MBA in business management, giving her a broad knowledge of how business works. Kara grew up watching both of her parents operate successful businesses of their own, which is probably the main reason the position comes so natural. As the President, she has multiple roles to fill, however, she still loves working directly with her groups. Kara’s main goal for the company is “to provide a quality trip at a reasonable price”. Kara goes that extra mile for every group to make each trip easy and hassle-free. Kara has a toddler at home, Kaylor, so she doesn’t have much free time. When she does have spare time, she loves to spend it with friends and family, going out on the boat, traveling, riding horses and riding 4-wheelers.

RaquelRaquel

Raquel is another of our talented Reservation Specialists! She has one busy little boy at home whom she looks forward to teaching about the great outdoors! Raquel and her husband, Everett, partake in boating, fishing, deer and mushroom hunting and spending quality time as a family. As Raquel grows with the company she sets her goals to learning new strategies, taking on additional responsibilities and contributing as much value as she can. With a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology as well as an Associate of Arts degree, Raquel knows how to handle a workload! If she could revisit one trip in her life it would be her honeymoon in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina where she and her husband took on white water rafting and zip-lining!

Josh

When Josh joined the team, he took on the duties of not only IT but Assistant Admin. For him, this is the best of both worlds because he not only learns about new techniques and methodologies, he gets to introduce and apply them throughout his days at the office. On his own time, Josh runs a photography business and frequents a local 24-hour gym where he tunes in to the latest hits in music during a long workout. He has a background in Laser/Electro-Optics which took him to Florida to begin his career. After three years down south, he returned to Missouri where he now enjoys fishing, golf, traveling with his wife, Sarah, and investing in the stock market.
