About me

A father to four grown up children, three sons and a daughter. My second son is a special child and in his mid-twenties. I enjoy writing especially from my own experiences. I have a passion for cars focused more on maintaining and repairing for road worthiness. My passion for cars got me to self-learn on mechanics, body repair and repainting. Electrical and electronics are one of my weaknesses. Work experience gave me a good background on sales and marketing in industries like automotive sales, pharmaceutical, telecoms and insurance. As proprietor, I got involved in taxi business, food seasoning distribution, auto repair shop and real estate brokerage. Had an almost 2 year stint as billing support at an outsourced call center from 2005 to 2007.
