“Throughout my career I’ve had some testing moments and times. That transition over the last 2 years from being a young father to seeing one of my really good friends go through an injury where he nearly lost his leg and then the same year I had to resuscitate a friend who drowned in front me in Fiji, he basically drowned and we had bring him back to life and then another 2 months later I saw it again. This all happened in a two year period, there was a lot to take on and it's not something normal people have to deal with”
