[blue]JAY DORNHEGGEN[/blue]
Account Manager Jay@DUI-Online.com (619)236-1203 x 311 (619) 884-6337 When Jay was 16 years old he was given the opportunity to go to Hawaii for the Total Eclipse. During his visit he received his open water certification in Kamuela. Being underwater and on the reef was a life changing experience. “For me it is about the experience of exploration, experiencing the beauty of the oceans, and the sense of tranquility it provides. The ocean opens a whole new world for me. It has been my greatest joy exploring the world’s oceans, from the kelp forest of Southern California to the warm waters of the Caribbean and South Pacific … and I have only yet to scratch the surface.”
[blue]JESSICA HARNED[/blue]
Senior Account Manager Jessica@DUI-Online.com (800)325-8439 (619)236-1203 x318 Jessica is DUI’s Customer Support Manager and Public Safety Specialist. Prior to joining DUI six years ago, she was the Manager at Huron Scuba in Michigan. Jessica began her diving career while she was at college at Humboldt State University in 1999. She originally took diving as a PE class – something she had always wanted to try. As soon as she jumped in the pool, she fell in love. “Diving didn’t come easy to me in the beginning. I ‘floundered’ a lot. But I loved every minute of it and I took every class that I could.” Jessica holds a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and Conservation and a Minor in Scientific Diving and Underwater Research. She’s also a dive instructor. What does Jessica love best about working at DUI? “I love how much our customers love diving and love DUI. It’s really a joy speaking with them every day. I also love the integrity that DUI has and that we won’t just put something out there because it’s the ‘in’ thing to do. At DUI we really believe in producing the very best product in the world.” Jessica also works closely with public safety dive teams through the DUI DEMOTOUR events, shows and presentations. “I really like working with these teams and educating them about how to protect themselves when they are doing such amazing things for their communities. It’s all about how to be safer through exposure protection. Plus the fire trucks are pretty cool!” When Jessica is not at DUI, helping public safety divers stay safer or out diving, she has a beautiful daughter, Sarah and some pretty rambunctious dogs.

She quickly joined the Government Sales Team and now Carol is DUI’s Director of Government & Commercial Sales. Carol really enjoys working with DUI’s military customers. It’s not just because her Dad is a WWII veteran or that she married a USCG Helicopter Rescue Swimmer. It’s because of DUI’s commitment to the customer and to the product. “I love the fact that we are able to create and build a product from scratch that helps our brave men and women perform their job better in their environment. What we do is unique and then we adapt the product especially for them. “I also love the fact that DUI provides unwavering commitment to the highest quality products and service whether it’s a local Navy EOD Team or a friendly, foreign military halfway across the world. We always come through for our customer no matter what.” DUI takes great pride in servicing all types of military and government customers. We design and build drysuits, insulation, and military-grade waterproof bags for everything as normal as a hand-held radio and night vision goggles to 55hp outboard motors, mountain bikes and chainsaws. We will also pull out all the stops if there is an unexpected early deployment. “I really like working with our military and government customers. After all, who wouldn’t want to work with these guys and gals? They are amazing!”
