During one of the most challenging periods of my life, both professionally and personally, I made a commitment to turn things around. As a passionate sports coach for over 20 years, I’ve been dedicated to impacting lives and fostering growth. Building on this commitment, I’ve devoted myself to creating a company and foundation that unites technology with social development, leaving a legacy of empowerment and positive change.

Today, I’m proud to announce the launch of the 44.5 Foundation—a step toward creating meaningful change and uplifting communities worldwide.

The 44.5 Foundation has over the last year become a steady contributor to the welfare of the citizens of Douala 4 district in Cameroon, W. Africa. As manager of this initiative, I have been privileged to see firsthand the glow of relief on the faces of our recipients. Food is a lifeline here. Quality education even more fleeting. Bringing hope to so many has transformed me. 

“I am dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those I encounter.”
