Chester the Manatee and the Very, Very, Terribly Bad Itch
My real passion in life is to help spread water literacy. Using my adventures underground, I hope that I communicate how our drinking water courses beneath our feet, and that everything we do on the surface of our land is eventually returned to us to drink. I wrote this children’s book to reach the next generation about how important it is to protect our water resources for the sake of Mother Nature and humankind.

Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival
I often read books about exploration, extreme environments and survival. I think these true life adventures help me mitigate risks and survive close calls in my sport of cave diving. In my opinion, few books have ever captured human strength and the capacity to survive like Simpson’s first hand account of a time he was left for dead following a tragic fall on a remote mountain.
