Tell us about your background 

My career has been shaped by life underwater. I began as a U.S. Navy diver, working across a range of disciplines from mixed-gas diving to hyperbaric medicine. After more than two decades in the military, I moved into the world of underwater habitats. That’s where everything clicked for me. Over the years, I’ve taken part in numerous habitat missions, spending months of my life living on the seafloor and supporting science, exploration, and human performance research. Those experiences defined my career and sparked a long-term commitment to ensuring that humans can safely and meaningfully live and work underwater.
