Gaisah was born in Ghana in 1983 and competed in the long jump representing his country at the London Olympic Games 2012.

He is currently living in Rotterdam (Holland), a country where he accomplished his personal best with a jump of 7.85 metres.

Here in Rotterdam, is where he started to compete at his long jump club and where he won every competition he took part in, which is why he decided to present himself to international competitions. He won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games of 2006 and in the African Athletic Championship that same year.
