Born in Cairns, Australia, Shay grew up in the lush tropical rainforest of North Queensland. With a European bloodline, he considers himself a citizen of the Earth. Inspired by the people and the world around him, his life has been a roller coaster of extreme highs and lows.

Shay left his homeland at the age of 17 to follow his passions and pursue his dreams of playing professional sports overseas. It propelled him into an unexpected journey of twists and turns, searching for adventure, acceptance and love.

Through a transformational process of inner self-discovery, he has found liberation in taking full ownership of his own personal story. Sharing his imperfections with the world has helped him break through a mountain of fears, judgments and expectations of others.

It’s his life goal to take full responsibility for his life and embrace an authentic lifestyle, full of purpose and meaning. He shares a vision to create a world where we value equality, integrity and respect. A world that is wildly passionate, connected and whole.
