Meet Mr. Jeffrey Coker
Many people consider Ghana to be the "melting pot" of Africa.
One has only to take a quick look around the capital city to see why.
Asians, Europeans, and other fellow Africans sprinkle the streets, many
of them adapting to our way of life. Every once in a while you may find
a redheaded Italian speaking Ga, or an African-American making attempts
to master Fante.
Ghanaians have always been known to embrace other cultures,
and it is because of this reason that we are proud to introduce to you
Mr. Jeffrey Coker. Jeffrey is actually Sierra Leonian by birth, but has
lived in Ghana most of his life. He attended Ghana International School
from elementary years until he completed his O'Levels after Form 5. He
went on to attend Purdue University in Indiana, where he majored in Civil
Engineering. While at Purdue, he developed an interest in Management Information
Systems, and opted to minor in the discipline. Mr. Coker went on to graduate
with a BS in Civil Engineering in 1997.He is currently working on earning
his Master's degree to broaden his educational and professional horizons.
He now has a promising career as a Junior Consultant with American Management
Systems.
However his vision is far broader than his present state.
Jeffrey Coker has full intentions of procuring a seat in the market place
through volatile entrepreneurship strategies in the area of venture capital.
Jeffrey manages juggles his time between his career, school, and duties
as a volunteer. He gives a fair amount of time every week to aid victims
of rape at the Dekalb Rape Crisis Center in Atlanta, GA. He has always
had a big heart, a listening ear and a willingness to help others.
This budding businessman has a bright future of promise
ahead of him. Though his roots may not be Ghanaian, we are certainly proud
that he has flourished under Ghana's sun. Mr. Coker has shown that hard
work, dedication and heart produce results and lay the right track for
any young professional.
Jeffrey Coker, kudos to you!
