When I was young I constantly asked everyone around to draw me divers and the underwater world.
If I saw a magazine with a diver on the cover, I would stop at nothing, until I got it in my hands.
I remember diving on my fathers back, long before I learned how to swim, and how my mother
transformed the story
“Little Red Riding Hood”
to the “Red Diving Hood”
and the “Sea Wolf”.
I fell in love with diving
when I was young
and ever since then,
I’ve been chasing that dream.

My parents couldn’t afford diving lessons, so right after high school I was able to earn my own money, and I started taking my first classes.
This is also the time I came across freediving for the first time.
The concept of diving on a single breath, got me very excited.
In 2005, I started my training, and I was completely hooked on this pure form of diving.

Two years later in 2007, I got employed full time as a commercial diver. This gave me the opportunity to learn a very specialised form of diving, which is saturation diving. Due to different events in my life,
I had to set aside training and work
as a commercial diver
for the next 10 years.

I felt that there was something missing and that was freediving, because the most happiest times in my life, where when I was freediving, training, competing and spending time with other freedivers.
In 2017, I decided to fully get back to freediving.

Now I teach and pass on my knowledge to my students, and most of all, I get to share my passion.

I live my childhood dream,
I'm a diver.

I'm a deep addict.
