I started with the Devils Lake Search and Rescue Team in 1987.  I became a Divemaster in 1998 and Open Water Instructor in 2007.  I am an instructor for 18 PADI specialties.  I am also an Emergency First Response Instructor, Divers Alert Network Dive Emergency Specialist Instructor and ECSI Wilderness First Aid instructor.  My favorite classes to instruct are ice diving, rescue, navigation, and the project aware specialties.  I also enjoy the open water courses we have set up for the two Boy Scout camps in our area.  Outstanding young people learning my favorite sport.
