Bio 

Was the S3 Operations SGM for a military intelligence battalion. Extensive experience in human intelligence, counterintelligence, and signals intelligence. Certified in managing training ammunition and transportation of HAZMAT, Command Language Program Manager, Contracting Officer's Representative, and Combat Life Saver. Always loves languages and aims to pursue a career which uses Farsi. In high school I started Olympic Style Weightlifting which is now governed by USA Weightlifting (then governed by the United States Weightlifting Federation). I continued my weightlifting career until 1999 when circumstances beyond my control prevented me from attending the national Olympic qualifying event in Spokane, WA. Since then, I started seriously delving into drumming and became a well versed drummer in styles of jazz, blues, classic rock, heavy metal, and extreme heavy metal.
