About Me

Once I thought I wanted to become rich and successful. Then I realized I didn’t care about the money and success is not dependent on being wealthy. Later on I learned that I didn’t care to become very successful either. Living life to the fullest capacity and being present at every moment is my current goal.

I moved to the US from Iran back in 2009. I lived in Seattle, Bellingham, Indianapolis and moved to San Francisco in April 2018.
