I was born in Kuwait in September, 1982. I was raised as the middle son in a family of eight. I’ve had all kinds of interests growing up; sports, video games, computers, the internet, RC cars, electronics, chemistry, fishing, bird-catching, and even raising pigeons just to name a few. Just like so many other kids, my childhood was heavily influenced by my parents. My dad, who is essentially a mechanic slash handy-man was the technical manager at the local BMW dealer, and my mom was a school principal. Both of my parents played their parts in our lives in every sense. They valued education, self-learning, exploration, and critical thinking. They encouraged us to get outside and learn from the world. My dad taught us everything from plumping to electrical components and electronics, while my mom engraved the sense of discipline, ethics, and the core values of being a good person.
