Dave has had the great fortune to work in group sales at Corporate Travel for more than a decade. His affinity for travel was cemented during a formative gap year after college, when he lived in New Zealand working as an agricultural intern (farm hand)—an experience that shaped his lifelong appreciation for hard work, down-to-earth people,
and life-changing travel. Before joining Corporate Travel, he spent nearly a decade in higher education administration at Carnegie Mellon University and Boston College. Dave and his wife, Katie, have two grown sons and are active members of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Ann Arbor. When not working or traveling, Dave enjoys being dragged on long walks by the family dog, Buddy.

The first time Rich went to Rome, it changed his life. His eyes were opened to the universality of the Church, the impact of the liturgy in sacred spaces, and the ageless beauty that awaits every pilgrim. His mission now is to ensure that world is opened up to every Catholic possible. Rich completed his undergraduate degree at Holy Cross College in Liberal Studies before finishing a Master of Business at the University of Notre Dame. He lives with his wife and daughter in the suburbs of Chicago, and passionately enjoys watching Chicago sports, playing sports, and reading about sports.

Jenna has been part of the Corporate Travel Service family for over 10 years, bringing heart, dedication, and a deep love for pilgrimage to every journey she helps create. She especially enjoys working closely with priests and parishes to cultivate meaningful, faith-filled pilgrimages that invite travelers to grow closer to Christ. Her favorite part of the job is traveling with her groups whenever possible, witnessing the fruits of careful planning come to life and seeing firsthand how pilgrimages touch hearts, strengthen faith, and create memories that last a lifetime. Jenna and her husband, Bill, have two grown children. When not working or traveling, she enjoys spending time outside on their lake and enjoying time with family and friends.

Ben delights in the Catholic faith and enjoys sharing it with others in whatever way God wills. As a college student, he had the opportunity to make pilgrimages to the Holy Land, Germany, Italy, and England. These experiences broadened his worldview, deepened his relationship with God, and taught him that pilgrimages can afford us insights and graces which texts alone cannot—hence the Holy Land is often called the “Fifth Gospel.” He desires to connect Catholics more deeply to their tradition and heritage, and to facilitate transformative encounters with Jesus Christ and the Saints in the very places they lived. Ben holds a degree in Philosophy and Theology from the University of Notre Dame
and now lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which he believes is a worthy pilgrimage site in its own right.
