Leadership

	Jon Wallace Jon co-founded PSUBS in 1997 to provide a place where private submersible enthusiasts could share technical knowledge and experience. He is employed as a software engineer and was an elected official in local government for 13 years before retiring from politics in 2003. He owns and operates DSV AQUATIC, a 600 foot capable submersible designed and built by George Kittredge. Jon is an open-water PADI certified diver and his interest in submersibles is for exploration of the undersea world at depths and durations not possible with SCUBA.
	Vance Bradley - Advisor Vance Bradley watched Cousteau's World Without Sun for the first time in the old Paramount Theater on Church Street, downtown in his native Nashville, Tennessee.   A decade and a half later he was in Egypt, piloting one of Jean Francois Durand's Perry submersibles through the oldest in-water oil field on earth, right under the frowning brow of the Sinai Peninsula.   He has spent thousands of hours underwater over a decade of offshore work, qualified as pilot for nine different manned submersible vehicles, and was one of the most senior of Intersub's pilots during the fevered construction days in the North Sea.   He's been under some part of nearly every major piece of water in the world, sometimes way under.   Eventually, he left the submersible field to work in commercial nuclear power which is tantamount, in his view, to jumping from the frying pan into the fire.   Nowadays, he writes, and works on his Sunday submarine (his third), and rides his motorcycles.
	Daniel Lance - Advisor Dan is a certified welder with 28 years experience working in the construction and repair of nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, oil refineries and oil storage facilities.   His career experience has provided a wealth insight into the fabricating and welding of steel and stainless steel pressure vessels and structures.   He has qualified to numerous welding certifications and procedures approved by ASME, AWS and API.   Dan bought drawings for a K-350 from George Kittredge in 1983 and after 2000 hours, and 15 years of part-time work, he fulfilled the dream of having his own "Soucoupe".   He has been a sport diver since the mid-1970's and a bell/saturation diving course at the Commercial Diving Center in Wilmington, CA rounded out his formal dive training in 1982.
