Former naval diver rebuilds life through toy business, creates jobs for people with disabilities
A former naval diver who left his military career due to a medical condition and later became wheelchair-bound following an accident has rebuilt his life through his passion for toy manufacturing.Kenneth Tan, 38, founder of Mox Monsters, joined the Navy at the age of 19 but left seven years later after being diagnosed with a medical condition affecting his movement and mobility, according to Shin Min Daily News. After leaving the military, Tan actively sought employment and took on various roles, including in social media management and graphic design. It was during this period that he also met his wife, who has remained a constant source of support and encouragement.However, another setback came in 2016, when Tan was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that nearly cost him his life and left him reliant on a wheelchair for mobility.During the difficult period that followed, Tan rediscovered his passion for toy painting, which helped him cope with depression and regain a sense of purpose.
