Paul De Gelder is a former drug dealer who—in seeking structure—joined the 🏷️#australian Navy and became a clearance diver. After losing his arm and leg in a shark attack, he found a new calling as a motivational speaker and mentor. 1] De Gelder is a 🏷️#vegan, fitness enthusiast, and all around @[BAMF that makes regular appearances on Discovery Channel, National Geographic, etc. [2]
Paul and I connected, randomly, when he responded to a listing I'd made to sublet my apartment. We finally connected in person—some months later—after he popped up on 📝Casey Neistat's vlog. [2]
