A lifetime around the Ocean

I was born to be in the water, as a Scorpio & son of 2 avid SCUBA & Skin divers, I spent my early years on the beaches of Northern California. Sitting with my older sister, eating my peanut butter & sand sandwich (I dropped my food a lot) waiting for our parents return from the deep with a bounty of seafood for dinner. We camped at places like Anchor Bay, Shotgun Cove, Mary’s Cabins, feasting on Abalone, scallops and fresh fish. Over the years, abalone shells were abundant, we used them to line our lawn, flower beds, even ashtrays it was the late 60’s).

When I was 10, I move with father to Honolulu, surfing, boogie boarding and snorkeling filled my free time. I fell deeper in love with the Ocean. Learning about preservation, conservation and the critically importance of the Ocean, it is the heart of the Earth. The Ocean provides oxygen, food and balances the planet. As a youth, my father & I would SCUBA dive together, he would always tell me that it was my responsibility to care & protect it. Without the Ocean, we would surly perish. Respect and appreciate the Ocean & your life will be a rich adventure.

I started C-Level Creations to cherish the amazing beauty the Ocean provides by highlighting the hidden beauty that keeps for herself. The stunning geometrical shapes within the conch shell, the intoxicating colors inside the abalone shell, the rich texture of barnacles that grow in clusters. Using lights and my skills so you can proudly display this beauty that is normally concealed.

All shells & coral are either from my personal collection or legally imported, ethically sourced. Absolutely no part of the animal is wasted, when I travel to Belize for Conch, the meat is made into dinner like conch fritters, sautéed conch with onions & peppers or conch ceviche.
