The beginning of the DogHouse Diving Foundation
For those who don't know my diving started after my wife passed away. I have always had a love for water and being able to go under water has been something I have truly loved.
My early life was one where I endured mental and physical abuse from my family and peers and sexual abuse from a family member.
Diving has helped me survive one of the darkest periods of my life and grow beyond it, so I want to share diving with others. Particularly those people who have suffered sexual abuse as a child and are unable to afford it on their own.
Today I registered the domain name and setup a website to take a beginning step off setting up the foundation.

I only hope that my vision will come to fruition in my lifetime.
I'm truly sorry to hear that you went through all of that, but I think it's really admirable that you've started something with such potential for positive impact on others. Thank you for your work and for sharing!
Thank you.
My life has been rough but hopefully I can help others who need it. There is still a long journey ahead but I've been making a lot of my content with the idea of using it as an income steam to go through divemaster and instructor training. After that hopefully things will fall into place.
