You either have the time or the money. Right now, you might have the time, but not the money. Later in life, you might have the money, but not the time. I wanted to make sure time didn’t run out before it was too late to do something I love.
About Bill
- Born and raised in Atlanta, GA.
- Attended the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he received his Bachelor's degree in History, Technology, and Society—a degree that combined history, math, science, and engineering classes.
- After graduating, he wanted to do something during the summer before he started law school, so he completed his divemaster and dive instructor certifications.
- From then on, he continued diving regularly—says he always considered diving to be his back-up career.
- Moved to Miami, FL, where he attended the University of Miami and received his PhD in law.
- He practiced law for about a year and a half after graduating, but realized that it wasn’t his passion.
- In 2006, he decided to follow through on his back-up career plan and opened Grove Scuba in Miami where he is a certified PADI Course Director and actively involved in diver safety training.
- He is also passionate about traveling and underwater photography—his work has been published in National Geographic, Scuba Diving Magazine, Sport Diver, and more.
