Biography

Genghis hails from the Buckeye State. He attended the Ohio State University for undergrad and graduate studies where he majored in post-colonial literature and hoped to become a college professor.

Genghis enjoys spending time with his daughter and reading at least three books a month in his leisure time.

As an attorney he believes that all citizens should have access to justice.

Genghis credits his success to three amazing Black women that always believed in him and his dreams.
