Adam Walker, Transforming From Sales To Storytelling
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. Adam Walker encountered all kinds of marine life en route to his achievement of the Oceans Seven. Stung from the North Channel and tossed around in the Tsugaru Channel, Walker was impacted profoundly on his journey from the English Channel to the Catalina Channel in California.
Along the way, he transformed himself from a stressed salesman to a scintillating storyteller.
He is currently filming a documentary about open water swimming, traveling around the world to re-construct his swims from the Cook Strait in New Zealand and the Molokai Channel in Hawaii. His interviews with his pilots, crews and local marine biologists will also be included in the pod documentary that launches next year along with his book release on January 7th 2016.
