PADI Americas Marketing Consultant, PADI Diving Society - When I was a kid I spent most of my time swimming, dancing , playing softball, camping, and just being adventurous. As I grew older, nothing really changed, except my adventures now take me across the world. From living abroad in Salzburg, Austria; to driving cross-country in Ireland; diving in Catalina's Kelp Forest off the coast of California; to diving in Palau, Puerto Rico, Cayman and beyond. Needless to say I love to travel and I enjoy the opportunities I get to travel with the PADI Diving Society. It's such a thrill to not only explore new places, but to meet other divers with similar interests. These experiences have all led me become a PADI Divemaster and I look forward to the next adventure ahead.
