Biography

I was born and raised in East Africa. I have extra-long lungs, so I can run long distances easily. I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family and friends, hiking, biking, traveling, being outdoors, and trying new things. I also enjoy dentistry, as I believe it is my God-given purpose here on Earth.
