Diver's Down/Cayman Diving College has provided me quite a broad range of experience including handling single engine, multiple engine & jet boats (I am still a novice though), filling air tanks & running the air truck which fills tanks for several area companies, guiding dives (already had extensive experience in this area), running resort/DSD courses (in the pool, from the shore & from a boat), running all sections of the Open Water course multiple times, refresher, EFR, Rescue Diver & divemaster courses. I also have been encouraging people to try "Learn to Dive for Free" courses, where we then try to convert those people into customers for DSD or Open Water Courses.

When I worked as a divemaster in Koh Phi Phi (a great small island of about 4000 people) I took people diving from all over the world. The common thing with them is that they left with a smile on there face after my underwater tour. Plus several of them came back for more diving the next day!

I own my own business (www.genextsoftware.com - Web Site Hosting, Web Site Design, Venture Capitalism, Business & Internet Consulting), which has allowed me to work with employees giving me unique insight to what an employer needs to be successful.

In my job at Lands' End as a computer programmer I received 5 promotions in 6 years & was the first person under 30 there to be a Senior Programmer Analyst (I was still only 25). I attained this level because I did what was best for the customers & the company. The skills needed to reach that level included effective time management, always being open to new challenges & constantly learning new skills, which all apply to being a dive instructor as well.
