    AF Delk

    Despite facing challenges from dyslexia and ADHD, he developed a remarkable resilience that became the foundation for his many successes. His unique perspective and drive allowed him to become a certified mechanical engineer and rise to the top of multiple companies in a short period. However, he quickly realized that his success was coming at a cost to his family life. Rather than compromise on what matters most, he made the courageous decision to retire from his high-flying career in his early thirties and become a full-time freelancer. This bold move allowed him to spend more quality time with his family, and his freelance work still allowed him to showcase his skills in a way that is flexible and balanced. He is now able to be present and supportive of his beloved children and never misses a moment of their lives. His experience and dedication make him an invaluable member of any team, and he has proven that even with adversity, great success can be achieved.
