His mixed ethnic heritage together with education led him to have a hybrid cultural personality. He had, largely grown up in a village with occasional exposure to urban life. He went to school during the transition period from traditional to modern life when his sectionalism and ethnicity was really challenged. He served at the Ministry of Health and other faculties in his country, Kenya and then crossed borders to the United States of America.
