Seth Essien (Founder/President)
Seth graduated from Brown University in Rhode Island, USA, in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in Business Economics. He is currently a mortgage broker and an independent life insurance broker in New Jersey.
In 2008 he underwent back surgery for injuries sustained in an auto accident. Upon the successful completion of 6 months of rehab and physical therapy, his views on life evolved. He decided to focus on giving back to society.
Sports had always been one of his interests as evident from his days captaining school sports teams at Ridge Church School (Ghana), and Abraham Clark High School (NJ). He was also a member of the 2000-2001 Brown University Men's track team. He decided there was no better way for him to give back to society than through his number one passion, SPORTS.
The concept for Sejona Sports Foundation was born after speaking with some school principals, physical education teachers, and athletic directors in Ghana and the United States. The goal was to provide more opportunities for the youth to be active via school sports, and amateur and national level athletic development. This in turn would promote physical fitness and social development through sports.
