I’m an avid outdoorsman, diver, and snorkeler. I also like to collect things like unique shells and fishing lures that have been lost!

When my wife and I first started dating, we were fishing one day out on the boat. We ran out of bait, so “naturally” I jumped into the lake (we had swimming suits on at the time), dove down, retrieved a clam, brought it back, and used it as bait to keep catching fish.

So ever since that day I had the nickname of otter, and recently decided to give my story and nickname substance by permanently putting that funny memory of us on my skin.
