Scott Grody is a world traveler and an expert resource on all aspects of the industry, Grody was virtually born into the business. His family owned a small operation in New York called Reliable Travel Bureau. Here, Scott learned his excellent customer service skills and honed his entrepreneurial spirit. After college, he ventured into his own business, Imperial World Wide Tours, which he later merged with Vacation Ventures/Carefree Travel. When his father became ill, Scott took the reigns at Reliable and built the single branch location into a multi-branch regional operation with heavy emphasis on Luxury Leisure and Group Travel. Looking to expand the company even further, he raised funds though an IPO, focused on Corporate Travel Management, and through a state-of-the-art sales effort grew the company over the next decade into a $100 million dollar business with 47 office locations throughout the United States.
