John is an award-winning filmmaker and an avid learner and has kept himself on the forefront of learning everything he can from every point he can.
He prides himself in his story arc that brought him to this point in life. When he was little he often wondered how some of his favorite cartoons ended up in the then days of CRT TVs, his father told him that they only went in at night waiting for the TV to be switched on in the morning so that he could watch them, that in turn got him curious to endeavor to one day get into TV and Film production, to which he turned around to tell authentic Kenyan stories and continues to push the envelope by asking himself WHY NOT?
