both riding it at the same time, and
they liked it.
"e scooter is cool," he said. "I'll
probably get one of them eventually
too."
Nkusi said he gets parts for the
machines from manufacturers
working from his designs. He has
a small work space where he builds
them when he has time but it's not big
enough to accommodate the entire
business. So some parts are stored
at his house. Eventually, he said, he
would like to have a larger space so
EVA could be in one place and have
room to grow.
In that, he's getting help from
Albeiro Florez of e Walker-Florez
Consulting Group in Fayetteville.
Florez said he believes in Nkusi's
products and in his vision. "It's not
just a business for him," Florez said.
"He has a passion for it."
Indeed, Nkusi said he enjoys the
challenge of trying to solve problems
as efficiently and simply as possible.
"When you stretch your mind,
it's amazing the things you can
accomplish," he said.
Nkusi has had to overcome much in
his life. When he was a youth, he said,
genocidal fighters murdered his family
in Burundi. He escaped only because
he was away.
He said he came to the United
States about 20 years ago and joined
the Army to give back to the country
that had taken him in.
"I think there's no nobler cause
than serving your country," he said.
Nkusi said he became a citizen
about nine years ago.
Remarkably ebullient and energetic,
he said he makes a conscious choice to
be joyful.
"e best way to overcome hate is
with love and just to enjoy life," he
said.
