Sam had a catastrophic motorbike accident in 2013 that resulted in him needing to be airlifted to the hospital and his left leg being amputated below the knee. Throughout this journey he has decided to enjoy his life to the fullest by travelling the world, partaking in as many sports as possible and showing other amputees that your life doesn't end when you lose a limb, that you can still find enjoyment in all life has to offer.

In recent years Sam has begun to work with Amputee charities to show that you can live life as an amputee without limitations. He has recently taken up wakeboarding, enjoys skateboarding and snowboarding and is as active as possible.

Through modelling and acting Sam wants to show his vibrant personality and wear his mental and physical scars with pride. He has physical scarring on his clavicle (4.5 inches), left inner thigh (14.5 inches x 2.5 inches), left outer thigh (5 inches x 2 inches) and multiple on his left knee and on his residual limb.
