About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place, starting with being the best dad to a gorgeous little girl.

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a global citizen and believe that home is where the heart is. I've lived in Bangladesh, USA, UK and traveled around a little bit before moving to Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be prepared to eat a lot if you visit Bangladesh. If you enter the home of a Bengali, you will have to eat whatever your hospitable and gracious hosts serve you, or risk offending them. Personally I love it, but some people find it difficult to cope with, especially when you have to visit loads of people in the same day (like during Eid), and everybody is trying to stuff you!
