Paul de Gelder Dives Into 30th Anniversary Celebration of Discovery's "Shark Week"

Paul de Gelder exudes the calculating efficiency of a Bond villain.  Perhaps it’s his icy blue eyes, shaved dome or muscled frame.  More likely, though, it’s his collection of high-tech prosthetics replacing his right hand and leg below the knee.  The bionics, combined with the cockiness of a street fighter and military bearing, make for one tough man.  Oh, and there is that time he swam for his life through a widening pool of his own blood after a bull shark attack.  In addition to losing limbs, the attack left him a committed environmentalist and a standard-bearer for Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week.”
