I grew up in the great state of Iowa where I guess I learned to work for what you want and be nice to people? As a kid, I was glued to National Geographic and Discovery Channel (when they had good nature documentaries). Particularly fascinated with the underwater segments, I always wanted to dive. I thought diving was only for Special Forces or professional marine biologists and took a different path in life but was STOKED when in college earning my business degree I found SCUBA as an open elective! That course would change my life. 10 years later, you still can't get me out of the water! I'm a diving professional (PADI Member since 2013) and have recently entered the technical rebreather level of diving. Having over 1300 open circuit dives, I am learning something new on every dive and loving it!
I now live in Monterey, CA and you can find me at my favorite dive sites as often as conditions allow. 😎
