I was born in a third world country, Bangladesh, and my family moved to the states when I was five. I grew up in the state of Washington all around the greater Seattle area. I attended a private high school and studied at the University of Washington. My hobby, which was the newest hobby of most during the time I graduated from college, the "World Wide Web," led me to a job in the "Silicon Valley." The start-up company survived and so did I. I'm a proud father of two and, see myself and hope others view me as well, as a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. I am person who can be placed in a desert with nothing and make an oasis and thousands of friends. My oasis is not necessarily one of riches, but a place of happiness, and a gathering place for all types of people.
