Mary Jane has been married for 18 years and has two teenage daughters. Mary Jane is on the Board of The Alliance Theater, the Advisory Board with Christian City, and an American Saddlebred Board Member, and she has an active role in her daughters’ schools.

What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

African safari marked our family’s most awe-inspiring moments because we got to cherish the magnitude of nature together. We had thrilling animal encounters, soared above the nature reserves in Helicopters, and witnessed village life in the marketplaces and schools in Africa.

Which destinations or hotels do you go back to again and again? Why?

I always return to Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts due to the consistency across the brand. Each hotel has unique features but always provides unmatched service with a smile. Their teams are always a pleasure, and they have one of the best beds, making them comfortable home-away-from-homes!
