As early as I can remember, going to the beach and traversing the waves and sand was exhilarating and fascinating. The sea was brimming with life and full of activity. My fragile, untainted mind just absorbed every experience with wonderment and excitement. My first precious experiences were lasting ones that drew me to the ocean.

Teaching and learning have been a passion for thirty plus years. It has shaped who I am as a person and a professional. I’ve taught just about everything from engineering principles and research methods to baseball fundamentals. Moreover, I’ve had the opportunity to coach and play collegiate and professional Baseball. In all, these endeavors have allowed me to shape young minds and influence the future of countless individuals.

Scuba Diving has been the bridge that has connected my passion for learning and the thrill of the ocean. I’ve been Scuba Diving as long as I have been teaching and have been around the world with my family engaged in this wonderful activity. My formal training has been with PADI, SDI/TDI, and SSI. I’m currently a Master Scuba Diver Trainer and aspire to continue training to obtain Instructor Trainer status. Until now, I’m still enthusiastic about teaching students and excited to go Scuba Diving, no matter the time or place.
