I am Nigerian American, and I grew up in Southern California. I attended and graduated from Sacramento State with a Sociology degree. I'm the first son of five, and I'm truly blessed to have such an amazing family. I grew up an athlete, with soccer and football taking the bulk of my youth. The grind paid off, and I became a professional football player from 2018-2022. Playing football overseas allowed me to travel to various countries, such as Langenfeld Germany, Helsinki Finland, and Tokyo Japan, spending 5-6 months at a time for each respected season. As a young man, it helped expand my perspective of myself, the world, and the people in it through the different cultures, languages, ideals, music, food, and more. My faith was on the back burner for most of my life, but now it is in the forefront and is my anchor, peace, and strength as I look to be a service to people in need.
