I am a sincere, loyal, and very caring individual. I have focused much of my life to career success and growth, and have been looking to find my life partner for the past few years.  I am a dentist, I own my own dental practice. I grew up in the Portland, Oregon area. I was born in Afghanistan, immigrated to the US with my parents when I was a 1 year old child.  I have two younger sisters, one of which is a physician and the other is in dental school and also will be a dentist inshallah.  

I was raised by two very caring and loving parents. My mother had a particular influence on me, teaching and showing me the importance of being selfless and putting others before yourself.

Islam had a very important role in my development as well, as my positive and formational experiences growing up growing to Sunday school at the local masjid had an important impact on me.  I had one particular Sunday school in particular that I really looked up to and mentored me in a very positive way.  I'd characterize myself as more of a moderate muslim. I do not drink alcohol (never have), smoke, or gamble, etc.  

I have a very optimistic mindset. I feel that with the right effort and dedication, nearly anything is possible.  I am very passionate about my career in dentistry.  It allows me to help others, help them heal, relieve their pain, and give them the confidence they may lack about the appearance of their smile and teeth, which has a big impact on their self esteem.  I really enjoy growing and leading my team, and am very grateful to have an excellent team that I work with. 

I want to build a future where I can spend a lot of time with my family while still earning an excellent living and am interested in investing in real estate and pursuing other business ventures.

Fitness and health are very important to me. I'm not the most strict dieter or gym attendee but I work out several days a week (currently at home due to covid) and track my steps and try to stay in good shape.  I want to look and feel the best that I can.

I am fluent in dari (Afghan farsi), English, and fairly fluent in Spanish as well.

I am an avid Trail Blazers (NBA) fan, and also am excited that Vegas is going to have an NFL team soon as well. I enjoy the outdoors, and like exploring new outdoor areas. Most recently I had the privilege of visiting the Grand Canyon, last year I went to Zion national park, and I like to go to beaches in southern California from time to time, hopefully more so in the future. 

I moved to Vegas from Portland in the beginning of 2018 because of an excellent career opportunity (this dental practice became available for purchase); I also enjoy the sunny weather here, better business/tax climate, and proximity to southern California, where I have quite a bit of family.  Living here is completely different than visiting and there is quite the muslim community here alhamdulillah.  I live in a very nice, clean suburb of Vegas which I really enjoy, and living here is not much different than living in any other suburban area.
