As a university student he interned at Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (KGSA), a free high school for girls in Nairobi's Kibera slum. When they offered him a job as a teacher, he took it - while continuing to work toward his education degree. Currently he teaches geography and business subjects while coaching basketball, and for a while he was doing this while attending school full-time.
