The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
~Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
I was born in Washington D.C. and joined the U.S. Air Force in 1989. I work as an aircraft mechanic and I’m currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan.
Accomplishments:
Published “Mike and the Seasnake” in Okinawa Living Magazine for a second place win in the people category for Tsunami Gear’s underwater photo contest 2007.
“Karamas Sea Turtle” was selected as a finalist in the Photographer’s Forum Photo Contest and has been published in the “Best of College Photography 2008 Annual” with more than 4000 entries world wide.
Diving, photography and beer are my only vices…
Favorite dive bumper sticker:
“The Deeper I go, the Happier I Get”
