About Me
I was born in makueni county in the eastern province of Kenya. Born 3rd of 6 children. I went to mukamene primary school which is about 10 km away. I completed my primary education and passed my exams and I joined the nearby secondary school mukamene. Unfortunately I didn't finished my high school due to lack of school fees. I moved to Nairobi for employment and I worked as a helper in a Epz factory which produces clothes for export. I worked for 3 years saving atleast 60% of my income. I started a small business of selling furniture material like velvet, cushions and sponges to the carpenters. I got good people who promoted my investment products that enabled it to grow. They are social, motivating and encouraging. I like there contributions to my business. I would like to see my children be God fearing, concentrate in there education to become useful people to the society. I like swimming, reading and meeting new people with new ideas.

I use my profit in growing my business, paying my daily expenses, and helping my parents to pay school fees to my younger brothers and sisters.
