THE MICHIGANDERS PODCAST

In this episode of The Michiganders Podcast, our host Coty Kuschinsky meets up with Storm Mbonu at Godwin's Furniture & Mattress. Storm was born in Lansing, Michigan to an American mother and Nigerian immigrant father. He grew up in Owosso, Michigan where he is an Owosso High School 2012 alumnus. High school was particularly challenging for him after his mother had passed away in 2005 and he was put into the foster care system. Despite those challenges, they did not stop him from owning his future as a commercial diver. He started out diving around the US to work on water towers, he now works on many of the 100 FERC-regulated hydroelectric dams located all around the state of Michigan. He also enjoys riding his Honda Shadow motorcycle, training in martial arts and competing in BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) tournaments.
