About Me

I come from a very humble background and the setup of my extended family is quite unique. My parents were blessed with three children and i am their first child. My early childhood life was concentrated in the rural areas of Kisumu a city near the shores of lake victoria.

In 1998 i joined a tertiary college to pursue a 2 year Diploma Course in IT. I completed my training in December 1999 and secured internship with a leading institution where i gained more experience and increased a passion for computers.

Since then i have remained to be a tutor for computers. In 2006 I used about $120 i had saved to buy a used computer and started a small IT training centre.

I am married and a father of five children 3 of whom are girls and 2 boys. We all live in a cool neighborhood in the western parts of Kenya Trans Nzoia County in the town of Kitale. My children go to a local school with the first born just about to join class 8. The youngest who is a boy is set to join kindergarten in the coming year. My lovely wife is a house wife and i hope that she will be my secretary if i set up a good computer training college.

I love and dream teaching computers, i feel so nice when i see the people i have taught computers showcase their skills and excel in life. i would like to make more impact in our society.
