About Me

Here's the basics: My name's Phil, I live in Charleston, SC, work as a fisheries biologist for NOAA. I live for the outdoors, scuba diving and snorkeling are my favorite things to do in the world. I hope to get my Ph.D and study sharks, which is what I've wanted to do since I was 4. Nature watching, hiking, camping, biking, boogey boarding, photograhy, bass guitar, shooting,poker, and heavy metal round out my other top interests. I'm a die-hard metalhead and Slipknot is my favorite band.Basically I'm just living life and loving it!I'm interested in selling some of my photography.
