About Me

Logo
I have been keeping tropical fish for as long as I can remember. I went to my first fish club meeting in 2003. Since them I have made a lot of friends. I served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees in the American Killifish Association for three years. I am currently the President of the Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies, President of the Tropical Fish Club of Rhode Island and President of the Southern New England Killifish Association. I also enjoy speaking at various aquarium societies and visiting other people's fish rooms.
