 I'm an easy going, ambitious guy who prioritizes faith, family, and friends above all else. My parents are originally from Pakistan, but I grew up in the Washington DC area.....where I live now. 

I have a MBA and a Masters in Neurophysiology and am an executive at a high-growth software company focusing on healthcare.    My career trajectory is great, and I aim to achieve even greater success over the coming years.   Islam is very important to me, and I'm a practicing Muslim.   II have a variety of interests, which mainly revolve around traveling, eating, and outdoor activities (combining all three is a bonus!). Staying active is a priority with activities like cycling, yoga, tae kwon do and just about anything else that gets my heart pumping.   Recently, I had the great blessing of performing Umrah.   My last few trips have also included Brazil, Argentina, Italy, and Spain.   

Absolutely love concerts! The last few were Muse, Radiohead, Black Keys, Pearl Jam, and Thievery Corporation. I also enjoy engaging in public service in whatever ways I can. I feel that the responsibility for our generation is to tackle religious, social, political, and humanitarian challenges in meaningful ways.   I'm involved in our local masjid and I serve on the board of a national Muslim non-profit organization.   

As Muslim-Americans, I think one of the biggest challenges we face is "balancing" all of the different values, norms, and attributes we have. On a very basic level, I'm looking for somebody that has a well-defined sense of herself, is able to blend and balance Islamic and Western values, and most of all, somebody that really enjoys life to the fullest.   I value strong taqwa, honesty, integrity, and empathy and would like to see these qualities in my spouse.    Physical attraction is important for me, but it does not trump everything.   A kind personality, positive attitude, and responsible mindset are critical traits for a successful relationship.   

I feel that I'm in a great place to move forward with the right partner.   I'm not interested in prospects that aren't serious, play games, and are indecisive.
