- Dive History:
- Commercially I've dove nearly every water tower, fossil fuel power plant, and nuclear power plant in this country. I have raised sunken ships in Puerto Rico by cutting them into peices and hauling them off. I've dove in septic tanks, dams, rivers, locks. I've worked on oil pipelines and rigs. Recreationally, I've dove most of the popular springs ranging from Central Florida to the pan handle. I've hit all the touristy cave dives like Peacock and Ginnie to the not so touristy like Eagle's Nest and The Back 40. I've spent time in the keys diving the wonderful wrecks and reefs of Key Largo.

I am from FL. I've lived in most states in the US, but I keep finding myself back here. Which is good, because I believe the best diving in the US is here in FL. I got married young and recently passed 22 years of marriage. I have four children: 2 girls, 2 boys. And they changed my life. I started diving just before I got married and loved it. I made 66 dives before an LDS owner bullied me into taking a class. Then I ran for everything I could take. Rescue, Cavern, Intro, DM, everything. I was spending more time diving than working. Some dives paid, some dives cost me. It wasn't long before I was enrolled in commercial dive school & my career as a diver began. It's no coincidence that Diver is next to Divorce in the phone book. The life of a commercial diver is rough on a family. But, we pulled things back together. I mostly cave dive now, and prefer teaching technical courses. I do some freelance work commercially a few times a year because... well it pays A LOT. I'm sure if you've read my posts you think I'm probably a jerk. And well, for most people, you are right on the money, but if you make it past the crusty outer shell, you've found a friend for life that would go to the ends of the earth for you if you needed it.Interact
