Like his brother Max, Lionel came to the US in early 2000. After two years at Camden Community College, in NJ, he transferred to Drexel University in Philadelphia to complete his Bachelor in Accounting. Because of the difficult political and economic situation in his home country Ivory Coast, Lionel helped himself pay for college through jobs like cashier in gas stations and package handler in big box retail stores. He kept focusing on his education and was rewarded when he got recruited by KPMG in downtown Philadelphia after graduation. Lionel went through the intensive long hours of one of the big 4 accounting firms in the world and this perseverance bore fruits after 3 years at KPMG, when he was recruited last year by GMAC as a Financial Analyst, a leading US financial company dealing in the home acquisitions market.
