You are a star in the making, where did your journey begin? My journey in sports started when I was in Class Four at Riara Academy. I really liked watching people play football, and then I found out that my dad, Isaac Kwoba, who is the chairman of the Green Commandos, was a football player at Kakamega High School as well as Eldoret KCC during his days. I got interested and began playing the game for fun.
After primary school, I joined Kakamega High School. The standards there were very high, but it wasn’t hard for me to adapt because I had already lived in Kakamega for some time. By the end of that year, I was named captain of the school’s under-16 team.
