About Me

I am . . .
a true beach bum - on the shore, in the water, or under it. These are my favorite places to be. They're my ultimate getaways from day-to-day stresses of life.

SCUBA diving and photography are my hobbies. But, there's nothing better than chillin' at a great dive resort, by the beach, surrounded by great friends - both old and new.
