Born and raised in South Lebanon. That’s exactly why: Detroit.

South Lebanon. My beloved home.

That’s where I was born and raised. That’s where I learned about the foundation every true success is built on. The foundation that answers the most common question about my people: how did they do it? How can a small part of an already small geography become the epicenter and top example of persistent resistance? The answer is that same foundation. The answer is my people’s faith. Our faith teaches us kindness and excellence, which shaped my top two professional values: dignity and clarity.

Outside of work, South Lebanon is my biggest passion too, talking about it, studying it, and simply being there whenever I get to go back. That in turn birthed a relentless love for creative expression, which shows up in both my personal and professional life, in writing, music, and cinematography.

Lastly, I’m fascinated by what makes each person unique, so I thrive when working as part of a team. My trusted formula for quality work: think big picture, then meticulously and efficiently execute the details.
