Could you take us a little bit through your journey of like how you got started in yachting and what was your first yachting job?

Of course.

So I feel like mine's a little bit different to most people.

So, you know, I was 22, I was actually paralyzed from the waist down.
2:54
Um, I had a spinal cord injury.
