Personal info: I have worked my way up from a junior sales engineer in the largest manufacturer of air conditioning equipment, to a project lead engineer in the second largest oil and gas engineering company in Iran. I am happily married to Shiva, the most intelligent, supportive and beautiful girl I have ever met. Shiva and I are blessed to have the cutest little girl in the world, Neely. I enjoy urban and cityscape photography, and traveling.
