Real Life Job:
Retired
Scuba Diving Path:
My interest in diving began in 1995 when my (then) 8 year old daughter
expressed an interest. She was too young at the time to start, so I did! What a trip! After I started, I couldn't stop! It is so amazing, between the places I go and the people I meet. After 10 years of diving I decided I wanted to advance and become a Dive Master. And then in 2004, I
went on to become a Dive Instructor
Personal Passions:
Now that I'm retired I'm able to spend a lot of time with my wife and daughter the two things I'm very passionate about, oh and our 4 legged family
Non-Diving Activities and Passions:
Repairing and building stuff around the house and for friends, go carting

Real Life Job:

Scuba Diving Path:
I went on a vacation to the Bahama's in 1992 and when I returned to Florida I did a Discover Scuba and absolutely fell in love with the adventure, the animals and doing something that very few people would ever try. Upon returning to Denver I contacted Colorado Scuba Center and signed up for the class and was certified in Oct. 1992. Through the years I continued to fun dive and in 1997 I completed my Advanced Open Water Diving Certification. Throughout the several years that followed I never lost the love of the sport and wanted to be able to share with people the fun and excitement I enjoy. In 2007 I continued my education and finished my Rescue and Dive Master certifications. The following year in 2008 Assistant Instructor was completed and in Aug. 2008 I completed my Instructor Course.(Now Dave is a believer too) I continued to complete Emergency First Responder, Divers Alert Network (Dan) Instructor and became a Master Scuba Diver Trainer in 2009. I love and enjoy every dive I get to do whether in the South Pacific, Caribbean or Chatfield Dam. As hoped, it has been a joy to share the under water world with every new student and watch the joy, excitement and wonderment they experience during their journey
