I was born in the slums ot Mathare, Nairobi Kenya. I am the firstborn in a family of five boys. My mum is a fish vendor and my dad is a tailor. I was raised in a humbled background and grew up with humble mentality and thirst for success. I joined St Patrick's Primary School and later joined St Patrick's Mixed Secondary School. I later scored an A-(minus)which is the second highest score in Kenyan Secondary education system. I had a dream to join university but came from financially disadvantaged family, I tried seeking for scholarship opportunities to help fund my education but to no avail.

However, a lady within our neighbourhood was a second hand clothes vendor and got me employed as her sales assistant. I learnt alot from her and saved for four months before corona pandemic struck our country, during which, I was supposed to join campus. This gave me a grace period to continue raising my university fees. I later ventured into second hand clothes as an entrepreneur with the meagre savings I had. However, it was picking up slowly for sometime before I started reaching customers.

I later joined Technical University of Kenya to pursue Bachelor in Engineering (Civil Engineering) in year 2021 and this opened doors for many customers as I was able to sell to my classmates and fellow students within the university. This tremendously help me pay my fees and even boosted my mums fish business. Later as I was in my third year of study I was able to buy my dad a sewing machine (tailoring machine) cause he had none before. The business was booming. As a hardworker I am , i later graduated in November 2025 with Secondary Class Honours (Upper Division). Am still thirsty to expand and explore more opportunities within this secondhand clothes selling business venture.

I am a gym enthusiast and I always pass my leisure time in the gym.

I sell second hand clothes to my community and country patriots at large. Being known, clothes are basic wants just like food. Clothes are first moving goods in terms of sales. Everyday people will want to buy clothes for either n occasion or just to replace worn out clothes.

I ventured into this business, because I developed interest while I was a sales assistant fir the lady who had initially employed me. I saw the profits margins and decided to start my own sales brand.

I used my profits to add more stock and reinvest back I to the venture. Additionally, I use part of my profits to pay for my brothers school fees and also pay rent and medical cover.

This funds will be used towards purchasing clothing bales for sale which will increase my revenue and subsemy living standards together with that of my family members while providing the basic needs in form of clothing to the members if my community.
