About Me
I am a Christian Lebanese and I was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1971. When I think back of what my family and I have been through during the war, it's only because of God's wish we are still alive today. I grew up on the Eastside of Beirut. Lived there until I was 17 years old, and then my parents decided that enough was enough and decided to immigrate to Canada in 1989.
I lived in Montreal, Canada for six years. I studied Computer Sciences at the University of Montreal... didn't do a lot of fun stuff in Canada, I was mostly trying to adjust to the new culture, the cold weather and focus on my studies... In 1995, I received a Job offer from American Airlines to move to Dallas, TX work on developing their new reservation system at the time... I didn't think twice about it, the economy in Montreal was pretty bad at the time, the province of Quebec was seeking Independence and a separation from Canada, and most of the major companies in the big city were packing their bags and moving to Toronto... I have been living in Texas since then. Working for the Airline has been great because I get a chance to travel a lot anywhere American Airlines flies.
When I am not traveling, I play football (European not American) and golf for fun... I love to stay active, whether it's football, tennis, going to the gym, walking, running, and swimming.
I have three sisters, Elisabeth, she lives in Paris, France with her husband George and my adorable nephew "Joey". Rita, she lives in Montreal Canada with her husband Hanna and my two beautiful nieces "Cynthia" and "Sabine". My youngest sister Carla lives in Lebanon with my Mom and Dad.
