Manasse was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo. After 8 years of living in Africa, he moved to Boise, Idaho, and lived there until it was time for him to go to college. He attended Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, where he graduated with an Exercise Science Degree and a Minor in Psychology. He plans on going back to school to get my Masters in Sports Psychology. 

Manasse grew up playing soccer and basketball. He continued on with soccer once he got to high school. He also played collegiate soccer at Trinity Christian, and now he is the assistant coach for the women's soccer team. On top of that, he is also a club soccer coach with the ages of 12 and 13.  

Manasse is a strength and conditioning/personal trainer at Overtime Sports Performance. His passion is always to help the next generation of athletes, not just in their athlete's gifts but also in the space they are in as human beings, and help them grow. He is very passionate about mental toughness, he believes it is important for everyone to have it. Mental toughness is not just for athletes, but it is for everyone. Manasse wants people he connects with to never feel uncomfortable to be themselves around me. Does not matter if you are different, we all are. 

His highest calling in life is to serve others because that is what Jesus did, and he does not see himself above that. Serving others goes a long way and helps you grow in your life journey and you get to learn a lot of really cool stories people have.
