Meet The CEO of TWS Travel Agency
Updated: Oct 4
Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Deon “Success” Jenkins developed a love for travel from a young age. Growing up in a city that serves as a hub of international travel and diplomacy, Deon was surrounded by a vibrant mix of cultures and experiences. The nation's capital, with its iconic landmarks and tourist attractions, provided him with a unique education that fueled his wanderlust.
Deon's fascination with amusement parks led him to explore beyond the borders of Washington, D.C. He embarked on thrilling adventures to nearby states, visiting destinations like Sesame Place, Hershey Park, Busch Gardens, and Paramount's Kings Dominion. These journeys were just the beginning of his lifelong passion for travel.
A dedicated student, Deon graduated in the top 5% of his high school class. He went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in Science for Structural Engineering, which further expanded his horizons and honed his skills in problem-solving and leadership.
His love for helping people led him to a top management position at the Fortune 500 company CVS Pharmacy. During this time, Deon began his entrepreneurial journey by founding Travel With Success. In the midst of the pandemic, he made the bold decision to resign from CVS and fully dedicate himself to his passion for travel and his business, Travel With Success.
Deon's first cruise was in June 2018, and he quickly caught the "cruise bug." Since then, he has been on over 20 cruises. He sponsors several group cruises called "TWS Sponsored Journeys" each year, inviting others to join him on these exciting adventures.

Committed to professional growth, Deon has earned the ACC (Accredited Cruise Counselor) accreditation with CLIA, Cruise Line International Association, and is currently working on his MCC (Master Cruise Counselor) certification. Deon is also certified in non-cruise travel, including international travel, resort stays at places like Sandals and Karisma Resorts, and family getaways.
Deon has set an ambitious goal to visit all 50 states by 2028. Having already explored 24 states, he is well on his way to achieving this milestone. He also has his sights set on cruising from Europe and Africa, further expanding his travel experiences and sharing his passion with others.
Some of Deon's fondest childhood memories were the summers spent with his grandparents in Virginia and South Carolina. These trips not only deepened his appreciation for family and tradition but also instilled in him a desire to explore and connect with new places. Through Travel With Success, Deon now shares his passion with others, inspiring them to embark on their own unforgettable journeys.
