I initially got involved as a sophomore in high school, receiving my first dive certification through the company. After my second dive certification, it was clear that I was hooked on diving, and I continued pursuing as many certifications as possible. Now that I own the company, I want to take the original mission of DiveOne and expand it further into more states, age groups, and memorable trips.

I have an environmental science degree and am currently pursuing my master's degree in Coral Reef Biodiversity of Conservation. I have been educating the public about the ocean at local aquariums in Minnesota for years. It was not until I moved to Florida and back that I realized how many landlocked communities didn’t know about the growing concerns in the marine environment. This is why I am excited and eager to take this company to the next level and provide an educational component to an already inspiring and exhilarating trip experience.
