"I'm originally from Nigeria, but I came here to go to school at the University of Memphis; that's where I got my degree. Living here, I saw a need and wanted to be an asset to the city, so I became a firefighter / EMT. I was ready to make a commitment to serve and to help. The hardest part of the job is the danger, but life is full of dangers. I've been a firefighter now for 24 years and 11 months. Memphis has been a good place to live and to raise my children." (I asked him why he was wearing an Ole Miss shirt since he graduated from the U of M. His response: "I promote everybody!")
