Mike left the grind of the New York City corporate world behind him in the late 90's to travel the world while working in the diving industry as a captain for a number of liveaboard dive operations such as the Truk Odyssey in Truk Lagoon. It was here where his fervor for underwater photography was ignited in 2003.  Since then he has travelled all over the world in pursuit of subject matter for his imagery.

Eventually, Mike wanted to share his incredible experiences with others and used his many years of experience in the travel industry to start his own tour company, Evolution Dive Travel; a subsidiary of Evolution Underwater Imaging LLC. He offers group tours to some of the most famous dive destinations in the world such as Palau, Truk Lagoon, Socorro, Komodo, Sea of Cortez, North Carolina and Bikini Atoll. He is adding destinations every year and has no intention of slowing down. To join him please look within this web site under the drop down menu, "Travel". Contact [email protected] to ask questions and enroll for one of his tours.

During his career Mike has published many images and written articles for a variety of magazines whose stories can be found in this web site along with his complete portfolio of images. In addition, he has filmed, written and produced three documentaries; Wreck Denizens of North Carolina, The Wrecks of Truk Lagoon and The Wreck of the SS President Coolidge. All were well received in and out of the dive community.
