Zemi is a professional skydiver, wind tunnel instructor, body-flyer, aerial stunt man, FAI judge and coach going around the world to explore and teach, sharing his passion for body flying.
Born in Lisbon, Portugal and with origins from Madeira’s island, he spent most of his childhood vacations exploring the pearl of the Atlantic with his curious mind making him fall in love of sports and nature, involving all elements.
After doing an enormous variety of sports from all elements as a child, the ones that he loved the most were the ones that combined strength, balance and mind focus, Zemi became a chess champion by the age of 9, a swimming champion by 11, and then he explored many other sports always looking for more.
By the age of 21 he saw a video about skydiving, everybody smiling and having a good time, he thought to himself “I have to do this”, not knowing anyone related to the sport and after trying to convince all his friends to go with him to try it, nobody accepted, so he just decided to go for himself, his first jump was directly doing his skydiving course, and he just loved the feeling of the wind on his body, less did he know that would change his life forever.
Chasing his passion every day he started to work as a packer on his local drop zone in Portugal, working his way up, to camera flyer, AFF and Tandem instructor in order to maintain this passion alive while studying, his curiosity for this sport continued and in 2016 he got at a wind tunnel as an instructor and later with a lot of dedication and handwork he became the Chief instructor, he loves to explore bodyflying, discovering any action/reaction that a flying body has with the wind.
Nowadays, he is traveling the globe teaching others how to fly their bodies, and he is currently based in Madrid, Spain to teach Indoor/Outdoor Skydiving.
Zemi is also a certified Veterinarian Doctor showing how much he loves the nature also affinity for exploring and learning.
