Mike who hails from Wanyororo B in Nakuru County, Kenya, is among Kenyans who found immense success after moving to the United States.
Prior to his immigration, his professional journey in Kenya encompassed a variety of positions, including those in education and tourism.
In an interview, Mike disclosed that be worked as a teacher of Geography and Christian Religious Education at Gatero Secondary School and later at Kenyatta High School.
Although he was committed to his role, he noted that he felt limited in his capacity to assist his loved ones due to the constraints of his job.
In pursuit of better opportunities, Mike transitioned into the tourism industry, starting as a tour driver for Planet Safari Tours before launching his own businesses, Migration Safaris and Maasai Mara Safaris.
However, the volatility of the tourism sector, especially during health crises and other disruptions, led him to explore other options.
In 2016, Mike made the bold choice to move to the United States, bringing his wife along, with their children joining them later.
Upon his arrival, he exhibited exceptional adaptability by taking on various roles in adult family homes, nursing facilities and residences for people with disabilities.
Ultimately, Mike’s determination paid off when he secured a position as a metro bus driver, a role that is highly competitive and requires a flawless record along with extensive training.
He shared insights into the demanding journey he undertook to become a metro bus driver, which involved a comprehensive 33-day training program.
In his current position, his daily work routine contrasts sharply with his previous experiences in Kenya.
For instance, Mike is required to work a minimum of eight hours each day, within a framework that emphasizes efficiency rather than passenger numbers.
This focus on efficiency is also evident in his earnings, as he makes approximately Ksh 4,000 per hour and Ksh 40,000 for completing 10 rounds.
