What set the hook? 

As a kid, I spent countless hours watching SEA HUNT and Jacques Cousteau's adventures on National Geographic. These shows sparked my imagination and ignited a deep fascination with the underwater world. I was captivated by the mysteries of the ocean and the incredible adventures of those daring enough to explore it.

Little did I know, those childhood dreams would eventually lead me to pursue SCUBA diving and make it my passion. Watching those legendary divers explore the deep left a lasting impact, and now, I’m fortunate enough to share that same passion with others, just as I once saw it on TV.

Certifications: 

In 1999, I proudly joined the ranks of PADI instructors, marking the beginning of a rewarding journey in the world of SCUBA diving. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of certifying over 550 divers, ranging from Open Water Diver to Divemaster, and guiding many through specialized courses such as wreck diving, drift diving, and deep diving.

In 2017, I further expanded my expertise by completing my IDC Staff training with the LA County Sheriff—a milestone that deepened my commitment to providing high-quality SCUBA instruction. I’m passionate about helping others discover the underwater world, and I’m dedicated to continuing to share my knowledge and love for diving with everyone I meet.

Goals: 

My philosophy is simple: keep diving, climbing, riding, and hiking. Whether I’m exploring the depths of the ocean, scaling mountains, cycling through scenic landscapes, or hiking through nature, I believe in embracing every adventure life has to offer.

The world is an incredible place, and I strive to observe and appreciate all the beauty it holds. Every activity is a chance to connect with nature, challenge myself, and grow in ways I never imagined. Life is an adventure—so I plan to make the most of it and encourage others to do the same.
