About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My personal mission is to provide water to water scarce regions using seawater desalination in a sustainable manner.

ABOUT ME

As my buddy from San Diego use to say (including saying it as his last wedding), 'Tony is the most interesting guy I know'. I have spent a lot of time diving, and doing science in the marine environment.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy each moment, as that is what we have. Stop and be in the present is everything. The past is gone, the future is later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just getting started and testing the system out on my first trip to Omaha, Nebrasks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Trying out my first couch surfing trip on a trip to Omaha to see Warren Buffet!

Interests

My interest is currently looking at how to make seawater potable? I have also started yoga and looking into how to convene a group to get to the essential conversations.

When not being a scientist, I enjoy yoga and reading...

Music, Movies, and Books

Love jazz, was into Reggae while I lived in Kingston, Jamaica and as I mature, I find classic music to be incredibly soothing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things was going down in a Russian submersible off the island to Hawaii to a water depth of 4000 m (12,000 ft).

Scuba diving while lava was flowing into the ocean...

Teach, Learn, Share

My background is in natural history of the ocean and more recently the technology around desalting ocean water to produce potable (drinking) water.
