FREEDIVE INSTRUCTOR

After nearly two decades chained to a desk in finance, getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me. In the months before, I'd already started freediving in Xiaoliuqiu — and books like The Blue Mind and Steven Kotler's work on flow states had lit a fire I couldn't ignore. I'd found my greatest passion, and I wasn't going back. (You can read the full story in the Daily Mail.)

Today I'm the founder of Freedive Nomad Taiwan and a certified freediving instructor under Oli Christen, Head of Education at Molchanovs — one of the most respected educators in the sport.

I'm also a certified breathwork instructor and facilitator, and a yoga teacher.

In 2026, I was selected to represent the United States in the Masters Division at the CMAS World Freediving Depth Championships in Roatan, Honduras.
