His love and appreciation for America were born out of his upbringing during a time of civil unrest. His father was a politician in Nigeria, but eventually saw his career upended after a military coup. These experiences influenced Yemi’s gratitude for the Constitution of the United States and the example it sets for the rest of the world.Upon returning to America for college, Yemi was a young man trying to follow what he says is so ingrained in Black culture. He registered as a Democrat and dealt with an internal battle as he realized his views didn’t align with the progressivism of the party. He quickly changed his status while pursuing higher education and committed himself to a life centered around service and conservative values.Yemi holds a B.S. in Healthcare Management and an M.S. in Health Informatics from Northeastern University. Additionally, he completed his B.S. in Nursing at the University of Massachusetts and a Master of Health Care Delivery Science (MHCDS) at Dartmouth College.After completing his education, he worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs in several management and advisory roles. After coming across a case concerning a Prisoner of War who declined thousands of dollars in monthly benefits, he was struck by the selfless nature of the veterans he served. This prompted him to contact a recruiter in order to earn a commission in the United States Air Force Reserve. Since joining, he has successfully completed three different activations, including a humanitarian mission to provide medical, dental, and mental health services to low-income families.As the Davis County Republican Party Chair, Yemi will approach the topic of rapid growth in a way that allows everyone to be heard.
