Obi graduated from Marshall University with a B.A. in Business Management. He was a 3-year starter on the Marshall football team and spent a year as a graduate transfer at the University of Oklahoma.

After a season-ending injury during his tenure at Oklahoma, he transitioned his focus to software engineering where he taught himself code, leading to him developing his own web applications and freelance work on the side.

He likes to spend his free time working out, going to the lake, and hanging out with his tight knit friend group.
