My wife Kamilia and I have 4 children and they are the most important part of our lives. I have lived in Calgary, AB for my whole life and love it here. I went to the University of Calgary and I am the current CEO of Liquids Matter Inc. an Analytical Laboratory company. I am a Scientist and a businessman.
My vision for the school is one that carries on what has been built so far; but also builds on it. I think we have a great school system, and it can be made better with a little effort. I am certainly for a high school, but against making a hasty decision that will negatively impact our children right before post-secondary. We need a good facility for our children to attend high school, so that we are setting them up for success.

Originally from North Lebanon and I have been in Calgary, Canada, for 16 years! I own a painting and renovations company, and this is my full time job. During my days off, I enjoy spending time with the people I care about, whether that is virtually or in person.
I believe that I can make an impact for Almadina Language Charter Academy. In the course of these hard times, finding many sounder and efficient ways to stay safe is very important. The improvement of Almadina is important and personal to me because I currently have four kids enrolled at Almadina. Three of which are currently in junior high and one in elementary. I will do the best I possibly can, to help inspire students and continue the journey of this school. I will focus on motivating the students, helping to expand Almadina, and try to expand Almadina to include a high school to serve the children. In my opinion, an Almadina high school would be critical to continuing Almadina's learning legacy.
