Athlete Profile
"The Rift Valley gave me my lungs and my legs. Now I want to take them to the world. Wherever the flag is raised, my heart will run for that nation with everything I have."
— International Ambition
I wake up every morning at 5 AM to the mist over the Rift Valley. The hills don't care about your passport they only test your will. I've run until my legs screamed and kept going. That's what I offer to any nation that believes in me: a heart that never stops, lungs built at altitude, and the fire of a man who knows his best races are still ahead. Kenya shaped me. Now let me run for you.
