If there were a checklist of things to do in Austin, Cherno Nije has checked a lot of boxes.
He moved to Austin in 1985 to attend UT. He worked for the state, raised a family, moved to Lakeway and eventually started a real estate development firm. He enjoys going to jazz shows downtown. http://kut.org/post/meet-lakeway-man-who-would-have-been-president-gambia
