My StoryMy love for the water started at an early age and has continued to play an integral role in my adult life. As I traveled the globe for shark research and diving expeditions I was never without a camera. The collaboration of my love for the ocean and the ability to capture stunning images was a natural progression. As a child my parents would have to drag me out of the ocean because I was literally turning blue. The Maine Coast provided hours of tide pool exploration and was where I took my first breath underwater on a regulator. I have migrated to warmer climates, but my love of the ocean has only strengthened. I graduated from the University of New England in 2005 after a few years of world wandering and soul searching. My path has never been the obvious choice, nor would I have it any other way. I am not a 9-5 person and I have always lived outside the box. I believe that risks, challenges and breathing deeply are the necessary components for living life. In this underwater world I wear many hats, which makes each day completely different from the last and keeps me on my toes. I am a free diver, scuba instructor, photographer, educator, outreach coordinator, rebreather diver, videographer, writer, underwater model, marine biologist and ocean advocate. I have grasped every opportunity possible to wrap my life in and around the ocean. I believe that it runs through my veins. Sharks have been my primary focus, consuming most of my time and energy. Without them our oceans will die. I have been fortunate to have spent 1000s of hours in the water with these incredible creatures from remote parts of Western Australia to the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas. I have swum out of the cage with great whites at Isla Guadalupe, donned a chain mail suit to hand feed Caribbean reef sharks 40 ft below the surface and even kissed a few sharks (not on the mouth). My goal for this site and my work is, to get as many people in the water with sharks as possible. This is the most powerful tool in changing the monster perception that society has of these animals. Looking into the eye of a 15 ft tiger shark will change your life. I hope that my imagery and writing touch people in a way that makes them excited for these animals and anxious to have their own up- close encounter.

Experience the Soul of the Ocean

Cage or no cage, diving with sharks is something that everyone should do. To see these animals in their world and on their terms, is to see the soul of the ocean. Fear and misunderstanding are replaced by awe and respect.
