I am a diver. I enjoy teaching people to become divers and helping divers continue their diving adventures. I also enjoy photography and I have been a contributing photographer for IANTD's Open Water Diver Manual (First Edition 2007), IANTD's Nitrox Diver Manual (Sixth Edition 2006), PSAI's Cavern Diver Manual (2007), PSAI's Cave Diving - Safe & Smart (2008) and PSAI's Advanced Wreck Diving Penetration - Overhead (2009). Cave diving is my passion, but I also enjoy other diving environments such as wrecks, walls, and reefs. I am an active recreational, technical, and cave diving instructor and I teach DAN, EFR, IANTD, MFA, NAUI, NSS-CDS, PADI / TecRec, PSAI, SSI, and TDI courses.
