About Me

i was born in kenya kiambu county in a remote village called Kabete. i was born in a farmily of 3 and i am the first born. my parents were predominantly farmers doing commercial dairy and horticultural farming and small bits of chicken rearing. i went through a rural primary school and went to high school in our local area. my child hood was normal like other children even though it was difficult for my parents to raised my school fees. I managed to go through high school with alot of difficulties and i managed to get good marks that could get me to collage. through out my college life i had to do manual work to raise my school fees and also attend classes. my parents could not pay for my school fees hence i had to do it myself and i managed to clear collage.
CurrentlyI am married with 2 kids. got married in 2017. My life has been tough from 2017 when i had to go through a neck surgery which drained me financially.

I thank God for the success he has given me since 2009 when i finished collage until now that i am able to run my business.

My Business

My profession accountancy which i have been practising for the last 5 years. being employeed in kenya is very difficult because the pay is not good. So as to sustain my family i started mixed farming at our rural home in Kabete. It has been doing well due to its proximity to the capital city Nairobi where there is a huge market for agricultural goods. i started planting kales spinach and amarantha which has hepl me sustain my family nutritional wise and also earn some extra income.
i also do chicken and sheep farming which also add as a sorce of income to my family.
Currently am planning to venture into into pig farming which will be a good source of income for my family
