Michael Houston, widely known as Godfada Gh Houston, is a prominent Ghanaian entrepreneur, software engineer, and Bitcoin expert. Born in Tudu, Accra, Ghana, Houston’s early life was marked by financial struggles. He grew up with his mother, a trader in Makola Market, while his father lived in Takoradi with his second wife. 

Despite these challenges, Houston’s entrepreneurial spirit emerged early, as he began making money before the age of ten by selling secondhand clothes and snacks.

Houston’s educational journey started at the 31st December Women’s Movement Kindergarten and Primary School in Makola Market, Accra.

He later attended Providence Preparatory School in New Town for his primary education and completed his junior high school at Independence Avenue in Accra in 20031.

For his secondary education, he studied Woodwork and Chemistry at Bompeh Senior High Technical School in Takoradi. Determined to further his education, Houston financed his studies at IPMC College of Technology by selling yoghurt and snacks in traffic, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree in software engineering in 2009.
