I am the PADI Americas Sales Rep for California, Oregon, Hawaii and the Central Pacific, and hail from the Great Pacific Northwest. I run the PADI Instructor blog (padipronews.com) and am a Master Scuba Diver Trainer. I'm currently working on my enriched air snorkeler distinctive specialty.

I like short walks on the beach and playing the drums. I've been accused of being a vegetarian, but my friends know I'm more of a cheese-i-tarian. I'm a rabid recycler and proud owner of a 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage - 40mpg, baby.
