I have a bit of a complex background. 
Ethnic roots are in the subcontinent, I was born in Texas, spent 10 years in the Middle East while growing. I've been living in Texas since 2008.
I do speak/read Urdu, can speak basic conversational Arabic, and am currently studying classical Arabic. Also know a fair amount of medical spanish and hope to continue to learn it, and eventually dabble in classical Persian too.

I completed my medical training in 2019, and currently practice as an Internist at a university hospital practice. I take care of patients, teach medical students and residents. 

I have always had an interest in pursuing higher Islamic studies as well, and Al-ḥamdu lillah, I had the opportunity to start last year in the Alimiyya Program at Qalam Institute, which I am hoping to complete part time along with my medical career. 

I am particularly interested in history, social movements and the practical application of Islam in America as a means of uplifting the lives and conditions of people. 

I have a dream to open a coffee shop one day that could serve as a hub for dawah and spiritual growth.

I am deeply involved in a Muslim community space that was founded by Muslim American converts in the inner city. 

But really, I am a pretty light-hearted guy who is very socially engaged, and deeply concerned about future generations. 

My main guilty pleasure is Turkish historical fiction dramas (Ertugrul, The Great Seljuks).

I am looking for someone who practices her faith, with conviction and confidence. 

Would prefer someone who is pursuing a career of her own, and who can carry on conversations about society and religion. I am quite extroverted, but I do connect well with both introverts and extroverts. 

I am open to all ethnicities.

Disclaimer: I am actually 3'10" tall. I have a medical condition called acromesomelic dysplasia (basically small bones). Any children I have would not be affected as long as the person I marry does not carry this condition in her family (which can be tested for very easily). While this hasnt affected my ability to live independently, it can be a challenge for others initially.
