PADI IDC Staff Instructor
Instructor since 2022
I started diving in 2004; my Open Water certification was a birthday gift from my wife (thank you again)! I have followed my passion and began diving professionally in 2020. My favorite place to be is underwater- it’s calm, peaceful, cathartic, relaxing; being underwater reenergizes me. I enjoy underwater photography, turtle watching, wall dives, exploring wrecks, and the tranquility of the ocean.

Some of my favorite places to dive include:
  • Mexico
    • Cancun (favorite dive site: C-58 Wreck)
    • Cozumel (favorite dive site: San Francisco Wall)
    • Playa del Carmen (favorite dive site: Moc-che Deep)
  • Caribbean
    • Bahamas Paradise Island (favorite dive site: Blue Hole)
    • British Virgin Islands (favorite dive site: The Rhone Wreck)
    • Jamaica East Coast (favorite dive: Lobster Reef)
    • Jamaica Montego Bay (favorite dive site: Basket Reef)
  • Hawaii
    • Oahu (favorite dive site: Vought Corsair)
    • North Shore (favorite dive site: Cathedrals)
I have a passion for teaching students. Nothing is more rewarding to me than when I teach them how to take their first breath of air underwater- it is truly an eye opening experience. To my former students: thank you for trusting me -it was a privilege. To my future students: I can’t wait to be your underwater ambassador and introduce you to the underwater universe!

Cheers! I look forward to our underwater adventure.
