Jackson grew up in Fort Collins, CO, and has been passionate about the ocean for as long as he can remember. He became a certified diver at the age of 13 and is now a divemaster—soon to be an instructor! Jackson graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. While in college, he studied abroad in the Turks and Caicos, where he completed a research project on a parasite that affects reef fish. Now, Jackson is working as a dive guide in Key Largo and is thrilled to share his knowledge and love of the marine world with everyone he can!
