About

Hi there, welcome to (one of) my personal website(s). This is where you’ll find my writing, marketing and artsy alter ego. 

If you’re looking for my scuba diving ego, you’re in the wrong place! Head on over to ScubaScribbles.com and maybe make a purchase or two while you’re at it (you are in favor of supporting a poor artist, right?). If you’re looking for my notes on becoming an ethologist, forget I said anything. That website is my anonymous secret. Ssshhh!

Truth be told, this site exists—once again—because I needed to stop spamming my scuba diving audience with emo poetry, ruminations on writing, rants about AI, and detailed break-downs on how to make killer art using Canva and Procreate. Weirdly, my writing and photography samples can still be found there too, mostly because I’ve selected the ones that pertain to the ocean and also because I’ve no desire to waste time moving them here. So, in the spirit of staying on this site, look at this absolute cutie:

It’s exhausting having so many interests. But, as you know, like the humble Leonardo da Vinci, and the little-known Albert Einstein, I too must suffer the whims of a restless mind. 

Suffice to say, if you’re reading this page, you’re probably interested in learning a little more about me. Or you’re avoiding work. Or chores. Or something else. Can’t be certain. Either way, all you really need to know is that I’m owned by a little black cat, I really love investigating dirty water under a microscope, I have an unhealthy obsession with books, and I feel most relaxed 100 feet (33 meters) below the surface where no human being can talk to me. 

If you stay a while, I promise to entertain you with stories, to have you second guessing what your pet’s eye contact actually means (and maybe what your fish is feeling), and I might even possibly maybe ask you to buy my novel when it hits the shelves. That would just be decent of you really. Also, thank you in advance, come again and have a nice day!

Here’s a picture of a remora trying to attach itself to me. I stole it from a shark. Yep. Oh and that’s a bolt snap you see dangling. I’m obsessed with them and maybe my protagonist is too…
