| I was certified April 16, 1989 and have not
stopped diving since. I log about 140 dives a year in a variety of places,
like local lakes and quarries, Florida Panhandle, Grand Cayman, Belize, Roatan and the
Florida Keys. Logging my 2000 dive, it is a very special mile stone for
me. Everyone ask what is my best dive, that is a very hard question to
answer as very dive is very special. March 98, I got to swim with a very
Large Eagle Ray for about 3 minutes. I was so close that I could see his
eye, easy with reach, but I didn't. We both just swam with each other enjoying
the experience. On one of my many trips to the Keys, Paul Caputo, Matt
Brooks, Kim Brooks and myself discovered a previously unknown anchor (right).
Paul who lived in Key Largo, notified NOAA about the anchor and they went
there the next day to document it along with an Indiana University student.
I love to teach diving, I can teach PADI courses. My diving
resume is as follows: |
 |
| I was working on a degree from Indiana University
in General Studies with emphasis on computers. Having spent 11 years working
with a major computer company repairing computers, sales of new equipment,
supplies for their current equipment and maintaining the customer base
as well as recruiting new customers. Being laid off because of company
downsizing I returned to school to get my B.S. in General studies with
computer major. My experience in computers and my love for diving, has
helped me develop PIT imaging process for Charles Beeker. I
also started the Web pages for USER at Indiana University.
After working on my degree for sometime, I had a chance to purchase the
local dive center, so I am very busy getting it to were I want it. |
