"He won Mr World, presented the National Lottery on TV and became a pilot - but it's his son who makes him most proud 'For the first eight years of my life, we had a driver, a nanny, a big house, we went to private schools. I was too young to appreciate that lifestyle, it wasn't until I got older that I realised the kind of life we had."
"My dad had several restaurants and businesses. Then everything went upside down - my family lost everything, there was hyperinflation, civil unrest."
He experienced a privileged early childhood with a driver, a nanny, a large house and private schooling. He later achieved notable public successes, winning Mr World, presenting the National Lottery on television and training as a pilot. His family operated several restaurants and other businesses before an economic collapse erased their wealth. Hyperinflation and civil unrest caused the loss of family assets and disrupted their stability. He did not fully appreciate his early advantages until adulthood when he understood the kind of life he had. Despite professional accomplishments and past upheaval, the greatest source of pride for him is his son.
