Mike started diving in 2014 in New Mexico. He earned his open water certification at a freshwater quarry called Blue Hole and enjoyed exploring sunken vehicles in Perch Lake just down the road. As an active duty military officer, Mike had to put his diving adventures on pause for a bit, but since moving to Las Vegas, he has jumped right back in and became a dive master in 2023. His favorite diving experiences include night diving the Catalina Islands and wreck diving in North Carolina. In his free time he also enjoys running, skiing, and snowboarding.
