David Sanford

When I started college I didn’t know what I wanted to do.  I just knew I wanted to be self employed.  My mom owned a small uniform store and my step dad worked for General Motors, or as we called it back then Generous Motors.  GM was the place to work in Flint Michigan.  If you got in there you were set for life.  I saw the pros and cons of both systems and I knew I wanted to go the self employment route.

My mom more or less forced me to go to college.  When I started, I Majored in Business Management. I thought:  I will learn how to run a business and eventually I will figure out what I want to do.

I’ve been trying to take pictures of my family at sunset for years.  I’ve read and watched several tutorials but could not figure out how to do it.  In less than 10 minutes you did what all the others could not do!

I have 250 logged dives from all over the world.  I wish there was a DiveWithDave in every location.  Every time I dive with you, it makes me think, “I wish I could have this kind of experience every time I dive.”
