A. Brian Schmidberger

Born in 2012. I am a keen skier, diver and tennis player. Like my brother, I learned to play the piano, but it never really grabbed me, so I gave it up in 2025. What I will never give up, though, is skiing and snowboarding. I have been on skis since 2015 and look forward to the winter season every year. My favourite area is the 4-Berge-Schaukel in Schladming. I started diving at the age of ten and was hooked from the very first breath. That was the start of my journey to Junior Master Diver. On my 12th birthday I walked into the lake at 10 a.m. and reached my goal. I am the youngest Junior Master Diver with both SSI and PADI certification. Now, at 14, I am following my brother to boarding school in England. Let’s see whether I like it as much as Colin does.
