About Max

I first discovered diving at the age of 6 while in swimming lessons at my local pool. Diving looked really cool and I bargained with my mom to swap out the swimming lessons and join the diving team. In my first year on the team I found myself scared and unwilling to learn new dives, which meant I was unable to compete that season. Missing out on competing motivated me to learn the dives on my own, and I spent the rest of my summer at the pool from open to close. At that point I had fallen completely in love with the sport.

The following year I joined Dominion Dive Club and began diving year-round. Having gained passion and guidance from knowledgable coaches, I quickly excelled to winning Junior National Championships and competing in international events.

I went on to dive at the University of Miami where I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Communication Studies and a Master’s in Sports Administration while training at an elite level and competing both collegiately and internationally for Team USA.

I began coaching the Miami Diving club team and my passion for diving extended beyond myself. I made it my mission not only to become the best diver I can be, but to help other divers achieve their dreams too. I created Diving Mentoring as a platform to do exactly that. Shortly after, I became a Certified Sports Psychology Coach (CSPC) to continue on my journey of providing the best resource possible for divers.

I am now apart of the Mission Viejo Nadadores where I am training professionally for the LA 2028 Olympic Games, coaching in the role of Developmental Program Lead, and mentoring the next generation of elite divers!
