Dennis and his wife, Kris, own Neptune, Steep & Deep &
the worldwide dive agency MDEA. Dennis started diving in
1956 at the eager age of 12, beginning his love for the
sport. He went on to obtain his BS in Biology and MS in
Fisheries Biology. In 1970 he tried his hand at snow
skiing and found a winter hobby to compliment his love
for scuba diving. In 1973 Dennis became a dive
instructor and founded the Neptune Equipment Company. He
added skiing to the mix in 1976 and Neptune became a
full-time occupation for Dennis. Since then, he has
worked not only to build his business, but to continue
to grow scuba diving, skiing and snowboarding in middle
Tennessee and the surrounding region. Dennis has
personally certified over 3,500 divers and is committed
