I was born and raised in Long Island New York. Islam is very important to me and I enjoy taking classes and constantly learning and growing as a Muslim. One of my passions is working with Muslim youth to make sure they keep their Muslim identity while facing the challenges that come with growing up Muslim in America. My friends are like family to me and I have a very strong friends circle. They would describe me as caring and driven. I enjoy playing sports like baseball, basketball, volleyball, swimming, martial arts and going to the gym. BBQ, meat smoking and the great outdoors are always a good way for me to unwind. While I am very active I do also find it relaxing to stay home and watch Netflix and listening to music. I would say I have a very eclectic taste in music and shows. I'd like to think I am a mix of Jim from The Office, Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec and Nick from New Girl. I'm looking for someone with similar values who places importance on religion and family.
