Leigh began her career in the travel industry in 1984 when she opened a travel agency with her dad in Iowa. She had the privilege of working with him for 7 years until he fully retired and moved back to his home state of Tennessee with her mom, and she moved to St. Louis to work at Maritz Travel. She worked in the travel industry as a sales consultant and manager until 2002 and then pursued a career in banking.

​In 2017 she decided to follow her heart and go back to what makes her happy, and is grateful that Brentwood Travel believed in her. She has traveled to most of the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, and her favorite destination is Hawaii where she has visited many times over the years. She loves traveling throughout the United States, and has seen almost every state in our amazing country.

​“I would like to thank Leigh for such an amazing job she did. From the first contact with her and up to our return home she was simply a pleasure to work with. We had last minute cancellations because of political protesting, and she was very patient with us to help us booked last minute and we were still able to have a beautiful time at another destination. We look forward to working with Brentwood Travel again.” -R.H. 2019

​“Our retirement trip to Italy was detailed and became overwhelming to attempt on our own. Leigh broke the trip down and steered us in the right direction all along the way. We gave her our major interests and she filled in the blanks from Cinque Terre to Sicily and the Amalfi Coast. Brentwood had the experience and connections to send us to the sites and people that would pull it all together. 25 days in Italy and it went smoothly and fabulously. Thanks to Leigh and Brentwood for the long list of wonderful memories.” -C.T. 2018
