After moving to the United States with his family (parents and two siblings), he attended Gainesville State College (now the University of North Georgia), where he earned a degree in Early Childhood Education.
Currently, Lesther teaches elementary-grade students at World Language Academy. He enjoys his profession and the fact that he gets to learn along with them. In addition to being an elementary teacher, Lesther also teaches pottery.
