"After being certified in 1996, I was introduced to shipwreck diving and was immediately hooked. My favorite wrecks include the Oregon, U-853 and the Empress of Ireland. In 2006 I made my first dive to the Andrea Doria and hope to get in a few more soon. In the winter, I enjoy diving off the coast of Salem, Mass. (BRRRR!!) and the caves of north Florida when time permits. I enjoy diving all over the northeast year-round, but call the RV Garloo home.
 
I hold TDI Trimix 1, NSS-CDS Full Cave, NAUI Rescue and Master Diver certifications, as well as CPR, DAN O2 and First Aid.
