Noah McNamara

Co-Founder

Operations · Logistics · Trip Planning

Founding SM Travel Co was one of the best choices I've ever made. I've always been an ultra-planner and very detail oriented. Logistics is my biggest strength, so correlating that strength with travel planning is something that comes very well to me. I have now been involved as a co-founder of SM for about a year and a half, and have executed numerous fraternity formal events, managed around 200 guests for Spring Break events, planned trips in 5 different countries, and have delivered each and every time. It brings me joy to be able to handle the backend that no one wants to. Large group travel planning takes a lot more effort than meets the eye and I'm always determined to deliver on every experience.

Logan Stein

Co-Founder

Leadership · Events · Client Relations

We started SM Travel Co about a year and a half ago with one goal — to successfully execute and handle group planning to ensure successful trips. Throughout my tenure, I've overseen planning and executing more than 25 events and trips, including numerous large-scale formals attended by over 500+ guests. These experiences strengthened my leadership, communication, organization, and relationship building skills, which I bring to my work with SM Travel Co every day.

Aidan Hanlon

Marketing & Creative Director

Content · Branding · Social Media

I've always been drawn to the creative side of business—finding ways to tell stories, build brands, and connect with people through digital media. As a senior at James Madison University studying Media Arts & Design, I've developed experience in content creation, video production, digital branding, and social media marketing. At SM Travel Co, I lead all marketing and creative initiatives. My goal is simple: create marketing that not only looks great but inspires people to travel and creates excitement around every experience we offer.

Director of Client Operations

Client Operations · Event Coordination

As an Accounting and Business Analysis student at Virginia Tech, I've always enjoyed organization, planning, and attention to detail. Having traveled extensively and experienced different cultures, I've developed a passion for creating meaningful travel experiences. Through my involvement in Greek life and campus organizations, I've gained experience coordinating events, managing responsibilities, and working with diverse groups of people. I love combining my analytical background with my passion for travel to help create seamless, memorable trips for others.

Web · Mobile · Booking Platform

I build the technology behind SM Travel Co — the website, mobile app, and everything that powers booking, payments, and trip management. From checkout flows and room selection to dashboards and live trip updates, I focus on making the platform fast, reliable, and easy to use so students can reserve their spot in a few taps and get back to planning the fun parts of the trip.
