I was born as the 1st born in family of 6 siblings. growing up as the 1st born was not an easy thing due to the expectation from everybody wanting you to be the role model of the other siblings and being their leader. i under wet through the 8-4-4 education system of education here in Kenya and after completion of my Diploma course in electronics i decided to venture into self employment. and that's how i started my business some two years ago. this was possible a s result of the encouragement from my boss by then and the ambition which was created in me from my child hood which propelled to learn on how on how to be independent, i started a small mobile phone repair workshop. this workshop has really helped me to come this far. from the small saving i managed from being an employee plus the encouragement from my boss that i will make it out their i managed to open a mobile phone repair workshop. this was a dream come through from the ambition of wanting to be my own boss. the place where business operates is conducive since i mostly deal with hardware repairs. the business has seen support myself and my family.
