About Me

Michael is born and raised in Oahu, HI. I’m an active person and always down to explore new places. If I'm not working I'm usually out hiking in the wilderness, running, diving, doing yoga, listening to music, or in the ocean somewhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is pretty varied but I’m usually listening to indie rock/folk music and classic rock. I’m a big cinephile and my passion is filmmaking and videography. Some of my favorites are Airplane, Monty Python, Dark Knight, Waking Life, Forrest Gump. I like to read a variety of books and some of my favorites include Cat’s Cradle, The Alchemist, and Dune.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the legendary Kalalau trail on Kauai before it was demolished by landslides! I was also once a State Champion 800m runner in high school 🏃🏻‍♂️💨

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to free-dive and hold your breath for 5+ minutes! I’m a close follower of Wim Hof and his cold exposure and breath work which can reduce stress and anxiety. I also used to be a d1 mid-distance runner and I can teach you how to run really long and fast.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, fresh perspective, and a good laugh.
