I raised them into now successful entrepreneurs. Also on the career front while my company was doing well , the recession in 2008 had a telling blow and was taken by Banks. I had to restart from scratch and started Avomeen Analytical Services which became one of the fastest growing laboratories.
With these ups and downs in life I am a problem solver he says. Also I might not be a seasoned politician , but my financial skills and my being a scientist will help me to take informed , fact based and practically right decisions while working for the people.
