Early life
He was born in 1986 in Barcelona. As a child he learned to freedive in the sea during his family vacations in Costa Brava,[8] the northern coast of Catalonia. He practiced several sports prior to competitively develop his aquatic skills, football, taekwondo, judo and basketball until high school.[9] Simultaneously he started spearfishing which became the reason for him to further develop his apnea capacity, leading later on to the competitive purpose in 2011, after finishing his Architecture studies in the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, which is his current job combined with his freediving career.
