Instructor

 Jason spent six years in the U.S. Navy, took one look at dry land, and said "nah." Now he
volunteers with the Sheriff's Dive Search & Rescue Team, because regular hobbies were never going to cut it. He's a certified Divemaster who can navigate zero-visibility water with his eyes
closed — which is convenient, because half the time they basically are.
By day, he runs a craft brewery, converting grain and ambition into beer with the same intensity
most people reserve for actual emergencies. He's part fish, part fermenter, and fully unbothered by cold water, tight schedules, or being asked "wait, you do WHAT for fun?"

Ask him what's on tap this week. Ask him how he explains his job title to strangers with a
straight face. Just don't ask him to explain how a guy fits this much chaos into one wetsuit.   

My interest in adventure started young. Growing up on the banks of Lake Michigan tought me to repect the water and grew my interest in what's below the surface. I started diving in 2006. but took a break to further my career and settle into the busy life of work, husband, and father. Now that life has slowed somewhat I decided to start enjoying these adventures again. But, this round involves my family in a way I never expected.

I'm a husband, father of two daughters, and a proud grandfather. Some of my most rewarding dives are those spent underwater with my family. I believe every dive offers an opportunity to learn, improve, and inspire others. I remain committed to being a lifelong student of scuba diving, continually developing my skills and helping others build the confidence to safely explore the underwater world.

With the majority of my experience having been gained during the last three years through consistent training, exploration, and a commitment to becoming a well-rounded dive professional, I have discovered a passion for introducing others to the adventure of scuba diving while promoting safe diving practices, environmental stewardship, and continued education.
