Author Bio: Paul Kotik

 

Paul Kotik was born in New York City in 1951. After succesfully completing his first breath-hold dive in the Atlantic in 1953, he deferred his aquatic career for several years while studying reading, writing, and arithmetic in  government schools.

Subsequent ventures included graduate studies in psychology, tech and telecom startups, and raising two children to adulthood, that enlightened state he hopes someday to achieve himself.
