I began diving in 1988 while I was in the Marine Corps at the Navy Scuba School located in Panama City, FL. Also, I dove at Little Creek, Virginia at their Amphibious Assault School. This was all for work…no fun.

I didn’t resume diving again for work, until 2017 at Lake Pleasant Marina. During my time there, I met Captain Forrest Packebush and assisted him with restoring Diver Down. Since that time, I have grown as a diver and learned to appreciate scuba diving as a relaxing sport and having fun.
