The dream of starting his own company—one built on exceptional service—took hold. He completed his contract and, turning down offers of promotion and partnership, he chose the harder path to follow his principles. To fund his vision, he took a different job, working tirelessly for two more years.

But life presented an almost insurmountable challenge. A sudden, near-fatal health crisis with a burst appendix left him in unimaginable pain. Facing immense medical costs, he had to fly back to his home country for emergency surgery. In a true test of will, he endured the flight, landing just in time for an operation that his doctors said he was lucky to survive.

This experience didn’t break him. It forged him. It deepened his resolve to build a life and a company that truly mattered.
