He spent the next few years working in the pharmaceutical industry before retiring his suit and ties and deciding to travel the world. During this time he became an underwater naturalist in areas as diverse as the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Pacific. It was also during this time that he became an Eco-Diver Trainer for the Reef Check Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the conservation of tropical reefs around the globe. Returning to the continent of his birth in 2015, he now works as a Lodge Manager in the Kalama Conservancy of North Central
