Meet Your Community Manager
Hi, I’m Max 👋. The founder and community manager of The Balance Base.
At 17, I left high school to start backpacking around the world and didn’t come home for 8 years. My travels took me from working as a scuba diving instructor to becoming a software engineer and eventually starting my own Web Development Studio.
After spending years as a digital nomad, living in countless hostels and coliving spaces, I’ve come to understand the importance of a space that balances work and play.
Now, I’ve moved back to New Zealand to start this new project. I’m living right here at The Balance Base, building a community that I hope that you will love as much as I do. When I’m not working, you’ll find me snowboarding, freediving, or getting lost on my motorbike. My goal is to create a space where work and play come together—reflecting the balance I’ve always sought in my own life.
