Executive Team

Meet Our Team of Professionals

Bryan Lewis

President

Born in San Francisco, raised in Minneapolis, and now settled in Boston, Bryan began his career in the International travel industry 10 years ago in the student travel business. What started as a sales job with a small student tour operator eventually became a lifestyle as the Vice President of Sales for StudentCity.com, a division of First Choice Holidays, PLC (now TUI Travel, PLC). It was there where he developed a passion for group travel through student packages to Mexico and the Caribbean.  In recent years, he has broadened his travel experience through trips to Europe, Russia, and even Cuba, where he acquired a true appreciation for other societies and cultures.  His desire to provide an opportunity for others to share these experiences through travel was the foundation of Tenon Tours.

Katie Fleming

National Accounts Executive

Born and raised in New Jersey, Katie's first international travel lasted longer than the average vacation, as she set off for a Study Abroad program to Australia and New Zealand as a college student. From there, her passion to learn about and experience other cultures and places continued to grow. Katie began her career in the travel industry after attending the University of Delaware and moving to Michigan to be the Outside Regional Sales Manager for StudentCity.com. Throughout her career in student travel, Katie moved into the roll of the Director of Customer Service and assisted in the success of numerous onsite programs as an Onsite Staff Member and Program Director. Katie has had the opportunity to discover the culture and community from the student travel days in the Bahamas, Mexico, Canada and even domestic locations. Katie, now an essential part of the Tenon Tours team, spent her summer in Ireland as the Tenon Tours Tour Host for our summer Ireland tours. Katie realizes how important international travel can be so she urges others to step out and experience it too.

Katie Keehan

Operational Development

Katie’s passion to learn about and experience new cultures began at a young age. This small-town, Wisconsin girl's first trip to Spain, as a sophomore in high school, was the turning point when she experienced the importance of international travel and decided she wanted to do and see it all.  After numerous trips to Spain, Europe and a few college study abroad programs, Katie began her career in the travel industry with StudentCity.com.  Having graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a degree in Spanish with Teacher Certification, it’s no wonder Katie found herself at home managing programs with American high school and college students in various Mexican locations, including Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. While Mexico was her home for a while, Katie also traveled and oversaw programs in Canada and the Bahamas.  Her experience as the GradCity Operations Manager allowed her an opportunity to better understand and appreciate the travel industry.  She is exited to be a part of the Tenon Tours team to continue sharing her passion for travel with others.
