Bio

While I do not want to advertise  my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I write here to ensure my actions speak to young people, so that an example to strive for goals bigger than money and self interest. For only this, I must tell my story.

“A common man with uncommon desire to solve the key problem of ‘Jobs and Skills’.  This has taken me to different places and paths. Luckily, I have survived, struggled and have been forged by adversity.

I serve my country everyday. It is a privilege that I earn every day. I humbly and patiently try to make opportunities for young people. I work with honor, integrity and my word is my bond.

I sometimes lead and sometimes I am led. In the absence of orders I take charge, lead  and do what is necessary. I lead by example, always.

I never quit. I persevere and thrive on suffering. I have been knocked down many times, I got back, every time, drew on every remaining ounce of strength to accomplish what I set out for. I know I will never be out of the fight. My skills, proficiency, and attention to detail make my work. I also know, My training is never complete.

I train for long haul and fight to win.  I will not fail. I am called a maverick or whatever.

Its ok. I am that man”
