I am a happy go lucky guy who has a positive outlook on life and make the most of out of any situation. But don’t let my charming smile fool you :). I am a very ambitious person. 

Community service has been a big part of my life. I co-founded a non-profit organization based out of DC with the goal of developing young Muslim leaders and my mom currently runs a family justice center helping domestic violence victims. While I am currently doing marketing for a small business I hope to also get into public speaking in the near future with the goal of inspiring and motivating others by sharing my experiences. And if you are nice to me I will tell you about some of my adventures ;). 

Speaking of adventures, I competed as a professional tennis athlete for a few years, having traveled around the country to play in tournaments. While I don’t compete at that level anymore, I still love to compete in tournaments every so often and play for fun. But as a whole I love to stay active and also work out, go for strolls, and open to trying other sports and activities. I have to admit that I can get very competitive at times, but it’s all in good fun! ? I am also outgoing and love to hang out with friends, whether it is going out to eat, hanging at a friend’s place, or watching a movie. 

While I am not out and about, I love to wind down by watching TV, especially comedies since I love to laugh, such as The Big Bang Theory, Fresh off the Boat, and Brooklyn 99. But I do enjoy dramas as well, including House of Cards and old shows like Breaking Bad and The Wire. Also, I am a huge sports fan so love to watch them on TV and attend games. Some may call me a sports junkie but trust me I am not that bad haha. 

On a more serious note, with regards to religion, I would say I am a moderately practicing Muslim. I try my best to pray 5 times a day and attend Friday prayer as often as I can. And I don’t drink alcohol or eat pork.

My wheelchair is part of who I am yet I am very independent! Besides, sitting is great ;). If you are curious don't hesitate to ask me! It is very hard to offend me so feel free to ask about my set of wheels ;)! Here is a short video about me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRCIEGNNJ6k&t=2s.
