Dive Certified at 12
Mendocino, CA
I started diving at a very young age with my father, a commercial diver and artist, in the Channel Islands and along the Mendocino Coast. The photo below shows me with my first abalone, at age 8. Thanks to my dad’s early instruction, I was dive-certified at the age of 12. Since then, I’ve also earned my Advanced Dive Certification and Nitrox Certification. My life revolves around the water!
