Assistant Instructor

Phillip grew up in Florida surrounded by the ocean. Introduced to spearfishing by his uncles in Miami, and to freediving through spearfishing, today he spends as much time as possible in the water. Phillip became serious about improving his freediving while living for four years in Puerto Rico. In order to spearfish the shelf edge (the best spots), he had to extend his freediving passed 65 feet. After taking his first freediving class with FII, he instantly fell in with line diving and freedive training in addition to spearfishing!! Now he still likes to spearfish, but can often be found putting the gun down to grab a camera. He is both an avid freediver and professional tech diver. Currently working on a PhD in Marine Fisheries in Galveston in the Gulf of Mexico, he is excited to be able to teach safe and effective freediving to the Gulf Coast community.
