I am the son of Iranian refugees who fled to America after the Islamic Revolution to escape religious persecution because of their Jewish faith. ​My family and I are eternally grateful for the safety and opportunity America provided us, which is why it pains me deeply to see how the American Dream is being made less and less attainable for millions of others. My parents taught me to work hard and never take what we had for granted.  With their support, I earned business and international affairs degrees from Princeton, Stanford, and Harvard.

As I mentioned, I’m not a career politician.  Instead, I’ve actually spent time in the real world and have a diverse set of public and private sector experience that I believe is desperately needed in Washington. I’ve worked in the Small Business Administration, the United States Embassy in Argentina, and at McKinsey & Company, where my focus was the healthcare industry. I have also advised local, state, federal, and international governments on various issues. In 2016, I launched my own business – a medical device company that focuses on urology.  As CEO, I built the company from one site to multiple centers across the US, quadrupling revenues in just the first year and driving consistent growth since. If only our elected officials treated the country that way. 

Outside of work, I am passionate about philanthropy and have volunteered with organizations to support Holocaust victims, low-income students seeking quality education, citizens on the brink of poverty, and other vulnerable populations. All of this has led me to the point where I am now a candidate for United States Senate, and I am all in on doing whatever is necessary to fix our country for the sake of my children’s future. 

Like many of you, I am an angry parent, a fed-up taxpayer, and a frustrated business owner, who is sick and tired of the revolving door of career politicians in Washington and our rapidly deteriorating quality of life. My priority is addressing the challenges that working-class Americans face with common-sense solutions, prioritizing less government and more market-driven ideas.

We need bold new leadership who act as statesmen, not politicians. The American people are tired of the perennial politicians and bureaucrats that have destroyed this country. A prime example is that of our current Congress, where our elected officials purposely get nothing done for the sake of partisanship. Our Founders were able to create this amazing country with tactful compromise; they didn’t concede on their core values but were able to enact meaningful change. If we don’t fight for change, for real leadership in this country, our children may not have a future.

As the grandson of a Croatian Immigrant grandmother who was in a refugee center for nearly 2 years in her escape WWII, and eventually making it to America to pursue the American dream, I cannot emphasize just how blessed I was in growing up in such a diverse and disciplined home. I am the proud son of a man who not just inspired me, but challenged me to purse higher education while gaining knowledge and understanding outside of the education bubble. I ended up finding myself at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore where my entire outlook on politics were flipped in being blessed, again, to witness the then, potential first lady, Michelle Obama, speak about her aspirations, her and her husband’s vision, and what it would take to not just accept that you were the underdog, but to accept it and overcome that stigma. "No one knows who you are until you make it know who you are...and when you’re given that chance, you leave people wanting to know more about you." I followed the 2008 campaign closer than maybe anyone who wasn’t an Obama, going to Philadelphia and witnessing an actual candidate debate and realizing just how slanted the political system is. The underdog isn’t the underdog because they aren't knowing. The underdog is the underdog because those who are already known will do anything and everything in their power to keep you down. Witnessing first hand an underdog evolve into a top dog is something I have not been able to shake to this day. I have nothing to lose in running as a real person. I have a unique opportunity to have people find out WHO I am. I am not afraid to say "I don’t know" knowing that I’ve positioned myself around experts in such fields who will allow me to share the knowledge so we grow in knowledge. Any politician who comes across as all knowing has the demeanor of a career politician mastered. I am no longer fooled and I am motivated now more than ever to run and re-establish EXACTLY what representation is by utilizing ALL of the tools to communicate with our constituents to ensure everyone knows that this is THEIR seat... this is OUR government.

Leaders lead by example.

We have witnessed the poorest display of leadership in maybe our governments history. We consistently watch "both sides of the aisle" point at one another, often times accusation based, demeaning, and in poor taste, while throwing their hands up and saying “THEY are the reason nothing is getting done."

I want to share a relatable scenario: I am a business owner. If I have two people in my front office pointing fingers at one another saying things aren’t getting done because neither one is willing to work with one another to get things done...in business, you FIRE those people due to the simple fact that they’ve been hired TO DO THEIR JOB. Our government is NO DIFFERENT. Our representatives have been hired to DO A JOB. If they are incapable as grown adults to work together to get the job done, and WORSE, they point the finger at someone else because their job is unable to be done...guess what? It's time to replace them. That’s called REAL LIFE and nothing gets more real than being leadership in America. The fact that this is an "excusable" way of "doing the job" baffles me... and it needs to end NOW so we can GET THINGS DONE.
