The marine environment has always been captivating to me.  Growing up, not a day would pass that I was not out fishing, seining, SCUBA diving, or tending to my many home aquaria.  This obsession led me to Southampton College where I obtained a B.S. in Marine Biology.  And now as a Marine Biologist at Atlantis Marine World, fish are truly my life.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

Thank you,
