I am a Pediatrician employee of a community health center in Gadsden, Alabama. I was born and raised in Ghana (West Africa) where I graduated from Medical School. My Residency and Fellowship training in the US took me through Waterbury, Connecticut, Lansing, Michigan and Albany, New York. Before relocating to Gadsden, I practised solo private Pediatrics in Dayton, Ohio for nearly 20 years. In both Dayton and Gadsden, my practice has been in predominantly underserved communities. I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, and also hold a degree of Masters in Medical Management from Tulane University My debut novel, "Child Of Polygamy" was jointly written by me and my wife Nella who is a stay-at-home mom. I grew up in a polygamous family and know a lot about the dynamics of such families through my personal experiences.
