Diving history

I started diving in California in the late 80’s. I played water polo and swam in high school so the water is in my blood.
It holds a special place in my heart and mind. I grew up playing on and in the water so, after spending 20 years training and showing horses it was time to make a change in life and my career to do what I love; teach. I came to the Keys because of the great opportunities for diving and teaching. The people and places are awesome and I enjoy all of my students and fellow divers.

My wife Colleen and I are excited about building our future in the Keys. Together, we hope to continue in the great tradition of Florida Keys Dive centers commitment to helping others to discovery the wonder and beauty of SCUBA. Diving offers to us a new world to explore and with each dive doors of discovery are opened
