I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Stetson University. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I also travelled and studied in the Amazon Rainforest, the Florida Keys, skydived, and received my Open Water SCUBA certification! Since, then I have realized that it is better to be more grounded, sometimes desiring a float-like state. I love the ocean and observing the beauty of life that lies beneath. From experience, I learned to study and appreciate, but more importantly to protect our precious marine ecosystems. Long are the days since my childhood, but the memories and camaraderie created will last a lifetime. St. Louis Community College-Meramec is where I obtained my degree in Horticulture. For the past six years, I have been a stay at home dad, which is truly the most challenging, yet rewarding, job that I have ever had.
