Hi there, I'm Bernard Schober, but my friends call me Klute (longish story, I'll probably tell you about it some day).
Grew up in South Florida, moved to Arizona, life-long ocean enthusiast. I'm especially enamored with sharks and rays, traveling around the world to dive with them.
I've written a few books, "Chumming the Waters" (a chapbook of poetry for sharks, by sharks, with all the profits donated to sharks via the conservation group Fins Attached), and "Cap'n Klute's Ocean Almanac". Both are available on Amazon!
