He grew up surrounded by the industry, with both his grandfather and father running their own forwarding companies. And yet, he was convinced it would never be his path.
Life, apparently, had other plans.
From driving 10+ hours to personally make sure a critical shipment was loaded, to discovering that 50 boxes of sand bound for the UAE were actually for horse racing, his journey has been anything but predictable.
