I was born in Nigeria and immigrated to the United States, specifically Boston, MA (Go Celtics-Patriots-Bruins-Red Sox!) at a young age. I attended Boston College High School and enjoyed four years of meeting great people and being involved in student life. For most of my undergraduate career, I was employed in the commodities trading industry and did not have the time or energy to be involved in as much student life and extracurricular activities as I would have preferred.

My goals for the future…who knows?

My interests and hobbies include playing chess, discussing politics, the world of business, debating with right-wing conservatives, drawing geometric and self-similar objects to counter boredom, reading scientific articles, being a moderate Star Trek fan (The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine series), experimenting with physics, volunteering with youth, sports, aviation, collecting foreign currencies, derivatives trading, reading thrillers (James Patterson), traveling, learning about different cultures, improving on my foreign language skills, and moments of clarity.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

“To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
