Spent his working life in decision-making executive management positions mostly in different sectors of the Ghanaian Automobile Industry. Highpoint of his career was becoming the youngest official Distributor and Importer appointed by an automobile company for West Africa, a "job" he thoroughly enjoyed because it was also his hobby and passion.

He has been a part of the management team since inception in 1998. Now retired, he is a member of the Board of Directors and currently Acting Board Chairperson. While his strong entrepreneurial and managerial skills are undeniable assets, he asserts that his f amily and Christian values are his most important assets and what define who he is.
