Aquarist
Most of the last 15 years of my professional life has been intertwined with my love and passion for aquatic life. This Hobby/profession has taught me patience and dedication like I feel few things can. When you control the entire living environment of something, your attention to detail and problem solving are of utmost importance. From helping a kid with his first 10 gallon aquarium to designing and building 1000+ gallon displays, it is very rewarding on many levels. It never gets old seeing the joy aquariums can bring to people.
