His parents divorced when he was only 8 years old and Nana became so rebellious that his mother sent him to live with his father in Tamale (in the Northern region of Ghana) when Nana was 12 years old. It was there that he developed an interest in art. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and started training with a master carver in Tamale. Nana's life has been so improved since he began working with Worldstock that he named his son after his contact at Overstock.com. What is Worldstock?
