Born in the Ethiopian capital city of Addis Ababa (translation: Blossoming Flower), Nehemiah first moved to the United States at age 10 with his family. From his new home in Washington D.C., he was able to experience many things for the first time - like his first snowstorm. Or the fact that, in America, people leave their nice, comfortable homes to go spend days in the middle of the woods for fun. And they call it vacation. During his high school years, he discovered his love for mathematics and global economics, which prompted him to pursue a double major in Finance & Risk Management at the Wisconsin School of Business. When he’s not buried in his studies or trying to keep up with the markets, Nehemiah enjoys playing a nice game of chess or going to the basketball courts with some friends. Nehemiah is also an avid art enthusiast and can often be found at the Chazen Art Museum contemplating surrealist pieces.
