After the incident, he went to a military hospital where he was given a prosthetic leg. In 1994, he realized that he is a good engineer and even set up his own business where he was busy constructing wheelchairs for injured vets.[1]

In 2012, he was selected to be a flag bearer at the 2012 Paralympics opening ceremony;[1] he also won a silver medal at these games.[2] Prior to the London Paralympics, he also won silver and bronze medals in such competitions as the 1996 Atlanta, 2000 Sydney, 2004 Athens, and 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.[3]
