INTROMy father is from Nigeria and is a chief in an Igbo tribe. He named me Amechi, which means "Only God Knows Tomorrow".Many people know me by Brendan, which my Mother calls me. However, during college I started preferring to go by Amechi to always remind myself of my Nigerian heritage of being a Chief.I've always been a high level leader. Throughout my journey in schooling, sports and my professional career I have developed effective listening, teaming and communication skills that reflect leadership.In anything I do, my desire is to help groups communicate with each other better and achieve success. With a positive attitude and strong communication, the legendary can happen.EDUCATIONI graduated from Santa Clara University. There I studied Accounting, Communications, and Multimedia. I was heavily involved in the multicultural center, was Chair of the Black Student Union, and co-founded the Business Alliance. I am proud to be a Bronco and do my best to continue to stand for the school's calling for competence, compassion and conscience.CAREERI started my career in public accounting at EY (Ernst & Young), ambitious to learn about how to become an effective leader and excel in client service. I owe a lot of my work ethic and business acumen to working in the Silicon Valley with those leaders and businesses.I transitioned from EY to became the sr. accounting manager of D&A Communications, a successfully run minority-owned small businesses. There, I worked directly with CEO Darolyn Davis and helped the business take great leaps in growing to where it is now.At the time, I also focused on family business becoming the Media Director for Trapxart, a cultural powerhouse and event curation company started by my 1st cousin Jesse Brooks and his wife Amina Brooks. There, I developed valuable experiences in film and creativity as a producer/director. We launched trapxart tv, the trapxart magazine, and put on fashion shows and parties all over the world. I founded AddColor Media to better use my unique skill sets in business and storytelling to become a positive voice in media for the underrepresented. I co-founded High Lvl Media with my good friend and fellow Oakland CA native 19Keys, to launch one of the most successful shows out 'High Level Conversations' and a multitude of other projects for other businesses including 19Keys LLC, Goldewater Corp, Crownz Society, and Block World Order (BWO).OBJECTIVEConnect, network, and build with me!
