ABOUT ME

hi, i'm Hasan and i've got an old soul. i'm a martial artist, a singer, an engineer, an impulsive traveler, a philosopher, a comedian, a reader and i'm pretty laid back.

I'm a very easy-going person. I'm 34 years young, born in Pakistan, raised in America. I know how to chill and have a thought provoking conversation and i also know how to party like an animal! i'm an engineer by trade, and in my free time i'm a martial artist. i'm a free spirit, hate being tied down, and as adventurous as they come!

PHILOSOPHY

i live to gain experiences. i believe that life is about two things, the experiences you gather and the people around you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've interned as an Engineer for NASA. I helped launch a shuttle from mission control. feeling the silent tension in that room, hearing the countdown, anxiously watching the data from the shuttle stream across my monitor, and watching as that beautiful ship blasted from the launch pad, into the atmosphere and into space was the most amazing thing i've ever experienced in my life

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you about Urdu and teach you the history behind a few martial arts, maybe show you how to move like a Capoerista. i can share the things i've learned in my short time on Earth and hopefully you can do the same.
