What makes his story even more remarkable is that it began with a challenge many people thought would hold him back.
A Difficult Start
As a young child, Sir Darius faced a severe fine motor skill delay.
Simple tasks that other children performed without thinking often required extra effort and patience.
Activities involving hand coordination were especially difficult.
His family refused to let those challenges define his future.
When he was around eight years old, his older sister introduced him to sewing.
At first, it was simply a way to help strengthen the muscles in his hands and improve coordination.
