Why I scuba dive? I originally just certified as OWD for a vacation to Mexico, but then I was hooked, and wanted more. I love diving because of the peace and tranquility of being underwater, enjoying the scenery, whether it's an old shipwreck, or a beautiful coral head with marine life. Pursuing my specialties was a way for me to expand my opportunities. The Search & Rescue (SAR) side of my diving, as a Public Safety Diver, is to provide assistance to the Kenosha County Emergency Service Organizations, and to the families involved. As a Divemaster, I'm privileged to, help introduce diving to other people, see them grow in their adventure, and give back to those that helped me get to where I am. 

My favorite dive site? It has to be Cayman Brac in the Cayman Islands, but I'm also happy anywhere I have some good visibility and something to look at.
