Dive History:

I grew up in the Northeast, and learned to dive in local lakes, rivers, and the Jersey Coast in the late 80's. I came from a Maritime/ Navy Reserve background and have had the opportunities to dive a lot of the coastal US and Hawaii, The Carribbean, The Med, The Red Sea, The Persian Gulf and Southeast Asia.

Currently volunteer for a few Central VA dive teams.

I have two small children, so my dive radius is limited for now. Always happy to talk to other divers, and those in the central VA area.
