Born to Dream: An Odyssey from Rwanda to China and the United States.

From his childhood in Rwanda to China and the United States, Phocas Irihamye's life has been one long and dynamic journey. It has been a journey predicated upon adversity and triumph, but above all, grounded in the power of dreams!

The idea of dreams and achievements manifested themselves in Phocas's early life. They carried him through a rigorous Lasallian Brothers curriculum, studying electrical engineering in China, to graduate studies and an MBA in the United States.

Phocas's dreams continued to carry him higher and higher as he entered the career world. This rise included holding a plethora of positions at Lexington, KY based Lexmark Inc, and ultimately the directorship of program management for Microsoft devices.

In addition, while Phocas rose up the career ladder, he also started a family, nurturing and encouraging his four children to achieve and dream. They embodied this dream in a variety of ways, including pursuing residency at the University of Illinois-Chicago and becoming a Rhodes scholar.

This is Phocas's story. But it's also a way of giving to the world. It's a guide for those working in international settings or in the business world. For those who seek synergy and connection. For parents wanting to raise children to attain their fullest potential. For students. It's a guide for anyone who wants to dream and achieve!
