Through the Years...

My first time spent with a dolphin!! 
1978 at age 2 Sea World in San Diego, CA.

Dolphin Adventure Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

I spent my first experience in the water with dolphins was in Mexico with my brother Chris.  It was during this experience that I decided there was no reason I couldn't follow my dreams.  I registered for school one week after returning from this vacation.


    

    


New England Aquarium  Boston, MA

This is where I had the amazing time of bringing the world under the sea to the guests at the aquarium.  Giant Ocean Tank talks, bringing animals to the public and presenting them!  What more could I ask for!

Mystic Aquarium  Mystic, CN

My first time with Beluga's.  They are very large, the one I am with was 1,900 lbs.  But he was beautiful and was the definition of the word charming.  He won me over!

Dolphins Plus & Island Dolphin Care  Key Largo, FL

I was so happy to be invited to spend time at these two facilities.  It was here I got a chance to really understand what it means to work with dolphins.  It was here I got my first real look at what these animals can do.  I feel that I came away with so much knowledge I knew this is all I wanted to do.
