Chris Blowes is living proof that with the right mindset anything is possible. Attacked by a shark in 2015, whilst surfing near Port Lincoln, Chris was left as an above-knee amputee and his future on the tools looked doubtful.

A Master Builders graduate himself, Chris has more than 15 years of experience in the building industry and he wasn’t going to let his newfound disability prevent him from doing the job he loved, later becoming the Director of his own building company where he was onsite, climbing up and down ladders and balancing on roof trusses.
