In this role, he provides pastoral care, spiritual counseling, and religious education for the university community, and oversees programs, events, and other opportunities focused on Muslim Life. In his free time, he also volunteers as Muslim Chaplain at Cal State University, Long Beach through the university chaplaincy program at the Institute of Knowledge.
Born and raised in Southern California, he has lived and studied in South Africa, Pakistan, and Makkah Al-Mukarramah for two decades.

He currently resides in Huntington Beach with his parents, wife, and children, and remains passionate about Islamic education, law, counseling, and practice & spirituality. And while he’s been known for his mean crossover in times past, he is more often recognized these days for dimes dropped and lockdown-D . . . with chocolate-chip cookie crumbs in his beard.
