I've always belonged to the ocean — snorkeling before I could swim, apologizing to the sea for what we've done to it, collecting plastic one dive at a time. Now I'm reaching for the stars — to come back and save what I love most.
Dive deeper ↓I grew up in the ocean. While other kids played on land, I was underwater — talking to jellyfish, befriending crabs, apologizing to starfish for what humans had left behind. The ocean is not a resource. It is a family. And family deserves to be protected.
Every dive, every snorkel — I bring something back that doesn't belong there. One piece at a time, because that's how oceans are saved. Not all at once, but every single day.
Spielberg made the world fear sharks. I want to make the world love them. Shadow isn't dangerous — he's misunderstood. And that changes everything when you know his name.
I'm competing for a seat on a rocket — ranked #42 globally. Not for the view. For the voice. When you've seen Earth from space, people listen when you say the ocean needs saving.
From the glass you drink from to the ocean you swim in to the blue marble you see from orbit — water connects all life. I am here to protect every drop of it.
They saw a monster. But no one saw him. An AI short film about the ocean's most misunderstood creature — and what happens when someone finally chooses to see instead of fear.
"What if the monster
was never the monster?"
Every creature I meet in the ocean becomes family. They aren't just animals — they are teachers, friends, and messengers. Here are the ones who found me.
"Stop fighting the current. You were never meant to swim against it."
"The present moment is all you ever have. Stop waiting for life to begin."
"You cannot stop the waves. But you can learn to swim with them."
"Move with intention. Rest with purpose. Every breath is a choice."
"Follow your joy — it always knows the way home."
"Sideways is still forward when you know where you're going."
"Even the stillest creature radiates light. You don't have to move to matter."
"Rest is not laziness. It is how the ocean recharges before the next wave."
"I apologize to the ocean every time I find plastic beneath the surface. Then I pick it up. Because sorry without action is just noise."
This is not a hobby. This is a life. Every piece of the puzzle — the business, the rocket, the dives — they all serve one purpose.
Freedom by Jules funds the mission. Kangen water — clean, ionized, alive — is the bridge between inner wellness and outer purpose. Water is the thread that connects everything.
Currently ranked #42 globally in the SERA space competition — #1 in Norway. The astronaut title is not the destination. It is the amplifier. When you've been to space, the world listens differently.
Travel the world. Dive the reefs. Pull plastic from every sea I find it in. Talk to sharks, befriend whales, teach children that Shadow is not the monster Jaws made him. One ocean at a time.
If Spielberg made sharks scary, I will make them beloved. Through animation, storytelling, and ocean wisdom — starting with Shadow, the tiger shark who is just deeply misunderstood.
Short films, meditations, and messages from the deep — straight from the family beneath the surface.
