Growing up in Hawaii with a fisherman as a father and the sea on my doorstep primed me for a lifetime fascination and curiosity with the sea. I started working on a marine research vessel in my high school years and after completing a Bachelor of Marine Biology at Humboldt State University I worked on the high seas as a scientific observer in Alaska, NZ, Mauritius, and Antarctica. The adventure continues as I now get to share my enthusiasm and love of the ocean and rivers with the next generation through Tasman Bay Guardians!
