Ever since i started fixing i immediately fell in love with the craft and since then i never looked back. I have been able to fix for some of the worlds best media houses, which has been absolutely an honor since i have learned a lot. You can view my fixing profile at goo.gl/7RKCoI . I do most of my fixing work for the BBC because they have a huge interest in this area, by that virtue i have found myself more often than not fixing for news and documentary crews so that’s my area of specialization. I have grown up and lived in several areas of Kenya and as much as i dint know then this is something that greatly aided my fixing since i was able to develop connections all over the country. I graduated from the university of Nairobi with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and media studies, and so journalism is in my blood in whatever i do. Apart from fixing i ran a production company in Kenya http://itsapaperjam.co.ke where i am a documentary producer as well as a photographer .
