Well, from the Fox website, you can see that I am a good looking buy--and incredibly modest. In addition to the day job of mild-mannered environmental lawyer, I am also a professional licensed scuba diving instructor (188154). I enjoy teach mixed gas, night diving, wreck, underwater hunting, and technical diving. Beyond Fox, I am also co-trustee for a steel stud company.
