I’m an avid scuba diver. I have trained with several different agencies. We all need each other, and we can do more together than we can apart.
I am a life long teacher with too many academic degrees.
I love photography and I see life differently. I see beauty. (See the brief video below.)
I love teaching, mentoring, and relearning things from new divers.
In this photo at the CoCo View Dive Resort (Roatán), I am (on the right) with Leon, my first Divemaster.

I love training Dive Buddies and divers with the Handicapped Scuba Association. Learning to dive with “adaptive divers” is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do!
