CERTIFICATION: PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer

# OF DIVES: 1,400

AT PAN AQUA DIVING: I am most often helping run the Dutch Springs trips. I carry tanks up and down the hill! I have also been spotted helping out in the pool now and then. 

FIRST BREATH ON SCUBA: Turks and Caicos Islands. Mr friend talked me into trying the "club course". I never was much of a water person. While we were learning our skills off the beach Jo Jo the dolphin interrupted our class and played with us for a while. I instantly thought "this is the coolest sport EVER!

BEST DIVE EVER: Darwin's arch Galápagos Islands. Hundreds of scalloped hammerhead and Galapagos sharks everywhere, turtles, dolphins, and my first whale shark. It's true, you never forget your first. 

FAVORITE CRITTER: Seahorses and sea lions. 

WHEN I AM NOT DIVING:  I am a television editor. I do a lot of food network shows. I am an avid cyclist, and gym rat. I am a big fan of all sports. Football is my favorite.
