Your favorite quote: Carpe diem

Your message or mission statement: Make the most of your time on this beautiful planet, do you part to improve it, enjoy it, and share it with the world. Being under the sea is pure serenity and when you are below the surface you can escape everything that is going on above it.

Your latest endeavors and where they take place: When I was living in Aruba I had the honor to be apart of a local grassroots effort to help maintain and control the lionfish initiative. This allowed me to make new friends, explore the waters around Aruba, and improve my diving capabilities.

What efforts are you most proud of? The ability earn my PADI Dive Master Certification and log in countless dives next to my, what would be become my now beautiful wife, and help her develop her skills and share this hobby across the world is priceless.
