Personal Life
A first-generation American, Dedina’s hometown is Imperial Beach, California, located just across the border from Mexico where he lives with his wife Emily and sons Daniel and Israel. It is here that he developed his interest in coastal conservation, while working to develop two national wildlife refuges and attempting to clean up the Tijuana River. Dedina worked a City of Imperial Beach Ocean Lifeguard from 1981–1985 and a State of California Ocean Lifeguard at the Silver Strand State Beach from 1985-1993. He rescued more than 500 people while employed as a lifeguard. An avid surfer, Dedina also enjoys competing in triathlons and rough-water ocean swims. Dedina currently manages WiLDCOAST from an office across the street from the Imperial Beach Pier.
