Biography:

I have been practicing dentistry since 2009. I was one of three graduates selected for residency at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. As a native Ghanaian, I grew up watching and enjoying soccer, which has developed into the passion I have for the sport today. I’m also a Philadelphia eagles fan (sorry cowboy fans). I’m married to an amazing woman and have 2 wonderful girls. I am a complete girl dad and wouldn’t have it any other way. Finally, I love to cook and barbecue for family and friends.
