Living the "work hard, play harder" mantra, I thrive on balancing intense work with epic adventures. Creator of the "ist" brand for mind, body, and soul, I'm all about pushing limits and embracing every moment. My journey proves that hard work fuels unforgettable experiences, crafting a life of bold achievements and wild memories.

Bare feet belong here. Ten steps to the shore. Tatami under your feet. Salt in your hair. It feels like childhood — but better. Let the ocean set the pace. Let the days soften. Let joy return. Best for: Families who thrive by the sea Essence: Effortless beach living Truth: Happiness is this close.
