Recently, Past President John Sullivan introduced our newest member Christopher Nwanfor. Christopher was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, in a modest household with five siblings. Upon graduating from the Ambassador’s High School in 2012, he pursued a mechanical engineering degree in Malaysia. While living in Malaysia, Christopher became interested in business and started his firstbusiness, distributing coffee products. This Business helped pay for his living expenses while in college and also serves as a platform to interact with the Asian market and gain an understanding of the Asian economy. Before leaving Malaysia in 2017, Christopher will go on to build an Argo commodity brokerage business and smoothie company.
2017 was the year Christopher made a successful transition from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Nebraska and attended Peru State College for two years. While in Peru State College, Christopher served on multiple boards, including the student senate and the president Advisory Council. Also, he was on a board designated to improve the community of Peru, which included business owners in the town of Peru, NE. In 2019, Christopher and his partner Neiman Sneed launched a special purpose entity to acquire and liquidate business assets. Christopher has also owned and managed two other businesses since then, which include a used car dealership and a facility maintenance company.
Christopher is passionate about service to the community and helping encourage upcoming leaders. He is devoted to God and strives for excellence in his daily walk. He also happens to be a CrossFit athlete and thinks with proper training, he could still do decently on a soccer pitch. Watch out for his golfing; it’s getting better!
