As a person that grew up loving the outdoors and always on the Tennessee River, he spent years with family and friends boating and kayaking on the lake. To start his scuba career, he has enjoyed diving in Tennessee quarries as well as volunteering with a reef restoration team in the tropical waters of Culebra, Puerto Rico. Alexander is thrilled to work in the beautiful sites of Tahoe, San Diego, and Oregon to continue to gain valuable scuba skills and finding innovative solutions to environmental problems.
