            I began diving in 1990 in West Virginia, then became a dive instructor in 1998 while working for the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) in Rancho Santa Margarita, California . There I helped develop training materials and served as the Assistant Editor of The Undersea Journal. From 2000 to 2011, I was the Director of Education for Divers Alert Network (DAN). I am currently the Lessons for Life columnist for Scuba Diving Magazine. 
I currently write full time, working on a series of diving thriller novels and short stories. The sixth dive adventure novel, Return to Cayman, will be out soon. I also co-authored Scuba Diving Safety with Dan Orr.
