He first tried Para snowboarding in 2012 in Colorado, United States of America. |
Why this sport? |
"After my injury and the removal of my leg, I struggled with what I would do with my life. I became mentally and physically depressed at the thought of my life not being in the armed forces and not being able to enjoy sports the way I used to. I became so passionate about snowboarding that I immediately started looking for a way to make this my life." |
