I certified OW in 2001 and later became an instructor in 2009. Jim and I started the shop together. With 23 years of individual experience and a combined 46 years of diving, we will be your instructors leading you through your journey! 

Outside of Trinity Diving I am an instructional designer. In the past I've dedicated years as a law enforcement officer and CPS Special Victims Unit Investigator, later shifting back to the healthcare field. I take pride in sharing my wild experiences from my work and travels to enhance the diving experience of students.

I hold an MBA specializing in Healthcare Administration, anM.S. in Learning Experience Design, B.As in Psychology and Spanish, and an A.A.S. in Law Enforcement. 

I began my journey to PADI Instructor when I received my Open Water Diver certification Spring of 2001. In the next few years, I earned my AOW, RD & DM certifications. Jesse and I attended the IDC/IE in Grenada, West Indies in summer of 2009. We both continued our studies and our current credentials reflect our Master Scuba Diver Trainer

I recently retired as a public school teacher after 43 years of service teaching Photography, Graphic Design,  Computer Science and Guitar. Photography has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy sharing that with my scuba students as I teach the Underwater Photography and Videography specialty courses here at Trinity Diving.

My degrees include a BS in secondary education, a MS in Computer Science and a PhD in Photography, a 4th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and I am an Emergency First Response Instructor.

My family and I began our scuba lifestyle in 2001 when we certified as PADI Open Water Divers. In the next few years, we continued our adventure together earning our certifications as Divemasters.

Jim and Jesse continued on together and became PADI certified Instructors. Now we travel the Caribbean together taking many trips with our students from the West Indies to Panama. 

I was an art teacher and during my professional career, I taught K through college level classes. When we moved to Colorado I decided to embrace ranch life, become a shepherd and dedicate myself raising sheep. That combined with our scuba lifestyle is always a good time!  

Originally from Buchanan, TN, I moved to NM to be closer to family. I met Jesse and we began our relationship in November of 2011, later becoming married and having a son.

Originally from Buchanan, TN, I moved to NM to be closer to family. I met Jesse and we began our relationship in November of 2011, later becoming married and having a son.

Jesse got me interested in diving after we met and I eventually went through the classes to become a Divemaster. I assist with dive shop operations, paperwork, and generally keeping things in line administratively.

I'm a veterinary technician as I have a passion for helping animals when sick or injured. Because of the dedication required for the job and long, sometimes spontaneous hours, I'm only present sometimes for pool and open water sessions.

I have an A.A.S in Veterinary Medicine and was previously a Real Estate Associate Broker in NM.

In 1990 while serving in the Air Force in the Philippines I had an opportunity to learn Open Water Scuba Diving. While using my Career Specialty, I dove Advance Dives for at least 17 years at the local lakes. While taking trips, I discovered that I might only be seen as an Open Water Diver.

In 1990 while serving in the Air Force in the Philippines I had an opportunity to learn Open Water Scuba Diving. While using my Career Specialty, I dove Advance Dives for at least 17 years at the local lakes. While taking trips, I discovered that I might only be seen as an Open Water Diver. Because of this fact I decided to take the Advanced Class, where the instructor said, “That I was diving more than anyone else in the area besides him.” 

Within the next 3 years, I got my friends into scuba diving. This led me to take the Rescue Diver class with Trinity Diving because I felt responsible for their safety, as they mainly dove with me. In 2011, Jim persuaded me to become a Divemaster, and in 2012 was influenced to become an instructor. During this time, I learned how to service and repair my equipment. This knowledge was warranted because I sent my equipment off for service and came back in worse shape than before. Although nowadays work and my other hobbies tend to keep me from scuba diving as much as I use to.

Interested in becoming a certified PADI Divemaster? We only offer two candidate positions at any given time and this one is open!

Our DM course is far more intensive than just the PADI DM curriculum. You'll also learn from TD across a variety of other topics such as more advanced emergency medical interventions, site safety (de-escalation, active threat response), handling potential discoveries of archealogical interest or criminal events, spearfishing, and preparatory classes for the Instructor Development Course.

As a result, candidacy to completion can take a few months to a year depending on your availability. Either way, you will walk out with far more knowledge across an array of topics than when you came in! Contact us for details.
