I am always attracted to the ocean, whether it be fishing, boating or swimming, I was introduced to spearfishing in New England at the age of 14.From the beginning I was hooked on the sport and dove as often as possible.Growing up in Connecticut, I was fortunate enough to spend most of my summers by the ocean in Rhode Island.At the age of 19, I had the chance to spend 5 weeks diving in Fiji. I decided to attend college at the University of Rhode Island so I could be closer to the water year round.After completing my Bachelors of Science in Aquaculture and Fisheries Technology at URI, I decided to stay and live in Rhode Island.In order to prolong my spearfishing season, over the past few years I have spent a couple winter months working and diving in Florida.I have been competitively diving since 2000 and have competed in two US National Competitions. Now, at the age of 24, with over a decade of surreal experiences while diving, it is still my primary passion. Spearfishing is no longer a hobby for me. It is a way of life.
