About Me: 

I was born and raised in Ohio. I'm married to an amazing wife and the dad to 3 pretty cool kids. When I'm not working, I enjoy hanging out with my family and getting out of the city. Although my 2 oldest kids don't have the scuba itch yet my youngest (6) is already a "certified bathtub scuba diver" I'm looking forward to advancing his training level in the next few years.

Diving Since: 2002 

Got Certified Because: As I was growing up my dad was a diver and it seemed really cool. I got back into diving because my wife said I needed a hobby and to get out of the house. I haven't looked back since.
