Wes Ratliff ADV

I first wanted to scuba dive as a kid when I would visit Robby Sporting Goods store on Manatee Ave in Bradenton, FL and admire the scuba gear! My older brother began diving as a teenager and I always thought I'd get to join him when I was old enough.  Unfortunately, by the time I did get old enough, he was attending college and sold all his gear!  Fast forward to 2014, at the age of 55, with my daughter's encouragement, I finally began what had been a lifelong dream when she and I went through our Open Water Certification. The next year I purchased my first speargun, then a GoPro, and here we are!!!

After realizing my diving goals, I decided in 2018 it was time to tackle another long-time dream and purchase my first motorcycle!  For years I had been riding friends bikes, but I had never felt the freedom to get my own. I am now blessed to own two bikes!

I am a retired Worship Pastor in NW Florida available for interim/supply leadership, and/or helping your band with backing tracks.
