  PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor - Scuba Diving since 2019

  Born and raised Texan. I dove for the first time at the age of 12 in Maui, Hawaii. I instantly fell in love with the under water world. I didn’t return to diving until 2019 when I received my Open Water Cert. in Phoenix, Arizona.  The past several years I’ve worked in the professional sports sales industry for teams such as the Los Angeles Clippers, the Phoenix Suns, and the Salem Red Sox. When the opportunity to join the Rainbow Reef team presented itself I did not hesitate. I look for to continuing my dive education!
