I wrote most of Amazing Magical Adventures of Poppy Flower when I was living in Key West. I learned to dive in 1995. I got my rescue diver at 9000 feet in the air at a place called Fish Lake and became a Dive Master in the middle of a snow storm in Utah. Moved to Nebraska and volunteered on a fire department as a Dive Rescue Safety Officer and then Captain, for 9 years. For fun I cleaned the shark tank at the aquarium. When I move to Key West I became a certified Turtle surveyor and walked Key West beaches looking for turtle tracks. in 2019 I represented and accepted the award for World Documentary Short Award for Underwater Senses. I have a video in the documentary and my name in the credits.
