I was born in Iran, into a conservative Jewish family. When I finished high school and concluded my military service, I came to the United States, my current home. I earned my BS from the University of Oklahoma and came to New York where I met my wife Beth. We married and I continued my education, earning my Master's degree from Columbia University. I have always written about various subjects as a hobby, but never pursued writing as an author. When my daughter Morgan became a mom, she asked me to pen down the stories I used to tell her as a little girl, so that she could read them to her young daughter, Harmony. Upon completion of a few stories and with the encouragement of family and friends, I continued writing new stories about the same characters and called it ' The Adventures of Mr. Potato Mousey". My wife and I currently live in Arizona. Life is good.
