I studied and graduated from the American University of Lebanon and earned my first degree, a Bachelor of Science with a business computer major. I left Lebanon and arrived in Canada, Montreal, in February 1993 and moved to Toronto in late 1996 after I graduated from McGill university from the Chartered Accounting program. 
• I do not have any pets. I played soccer for so many years. I read a lot as I believe reading is the source of knowledge.
• I am very talented in gardening and I spend a lot of time in my backyard in the Summertime.
• I love traveling and would love to visit many places around the world, but the unique place and most precious place I want to visit every time I can is Palestine, Jerusalem.
