There he learned about explorers such as Jacques Cousteau, which gave him an interest in ocean conservation and exploration. For the past thirty years he lived abroad in Israel and Spain, then traveled to East Asia, Europe and South America where he explored local cultures. In 1998, he got the entrepreneurial bug and began a business that grew internationally with offices in three countries before ending during the Great Recession.
