Happy Valentine's Day - Hi,

Thanks to the ones who sent me nice comments welcoming me to the tribe. I am excited for being here. K, I tried to do this twice before with out luck. Hope the third is a charm.

Here is a brief Bio of me, Nash,  and I'm an extrovert and I can talk forever (lol)

I arrived to the United States, from the Middle East, in 1978. I was 18 years of age when I began attending my first year at Cooke County College in Gainesville, Texas.

A year later, I found myself at Oregon State University’s campus without a friend or a family member within thousands of miles.

Since then, I attained my undergraduate and graduate degrees, built a national and international portfolio of Construction and Facility Management experience, conducted Motivational and Training seminars for thousands, served and lead on the boards of several non-profit professional organizations, wrote and published several articles in local and national magazines and newsletters.

In October 2006, I resigned my careers to dedicate my time and energy toward completing and publishing a book titled "Diamonds in the Rough - The Youth of America."

It is a book of poems, addressing many of the Nightmares and Fears, Hopes and Dreams of many Young-Adults and Teens.

Welcome to the tribe!

How fun to be able to write full-time.
