Max is an Australian of Ukrainian descent who came to Ukraine with his family for a holiday in 2021. Before that, he worked as a nurse in a hospital in Australia. When the full-scale invasion began, he decided to stay and use his medical experience to help Ukrainian servicemembers.

Today, Max is a combat medic and the head of a medical evacuation group in the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade named after Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko. Over the years of his service, he has served in various parts of the eastern front, experienced the loss of fellow servicemembers, and repeatedly applied his medical skills to save lives.
