He grew up in mainstreamed schools as the only deaf student among his classmates. He went onto higher education at Rochester Institute of Technology so he could have the best of both deaf and hearing world. With many international experiences and educational background in Public Policy and International Relations from RIT, he is ready to take on the challenging issues that the developing countries face today.

In his spare time, he loves to spend time with friends and nature by camping and traveling. As for his favorite music genres, he usually listens to Jazz, Classical, and New Age. |
