About Our Author

John Millenaar

Fellow Divers,

Meet the mind behind the blog—a passionate environmental advocate, father of two amazing daughters, and lifelong learner dedicated to exploring and protecting our planet’s oceans and natural resources. A retired military veteran and seasoned world traveler, he brings a rare blend of discipline, curiosity, and adventure to every dive and every story he shares.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, he is currently pursuing a graduate degree through Wayland Baptist University while studying Environmental Science at Arizona State University. Now, as a soon-to-be empty nester, he’s focused on finding meaningful opportunities in marine biology and conservation. Whether it’s leveraging affiliate marketing to fund his next underwater expedition or diving deep into scientific research, he’s an avid explorer—of both the ocean and ideas.

With a heart rooted in service and a blog built on optimism, he uses his platform to share thoughtful insights, practical knowledge, and inspiring perspectives. In a world often filled with chaos and noise, he’s committed to shining a light on what’s good—one dive, one post, and one reader at a time.
