(Note the Copia blog historically has many posts by my brother Chimezie Ogbuji. They should be marked with the byline as such.) I'm a Nigerian-American entrepreneur, software engineer and writer who lives near Boulder, Colorado with my wife, three sons and daughter. I studied Electronic Engineering at The University of Nigeria at Nsukka, and Computer Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. I was co-founder of Fourthought, Inc. in 1998, which I ran until 2007, when I co-founded Zepheira. I'm also a poet and editor (Kin Poetry Journal & The Nervous Breakdown). In my spare time I train in AKKI Kenpo, skateboard, snowboard, play and coach soccer. Google profile
