I'm an engineer/project manager living in Los Angeles, USA. Originally from Iran. My hobbies are listening to music (world music, rock, jazz, blues, EDM) and going to concerts. Also love to read, mostly New Yorker, Rolling Stones, LA Times and NY Times - no time for reading books). I love traveling and experiencing other cultures. Just returned from trip to Iceland/Netherland/Germany/Denmark and Italy . My other hobbies are skiing, hiking and canyon driving. I'm also a private pilot and fly planes once in a while for fun and when I get a chance I work on restoring my 1967 Volvo P1800S. I just started doing yoga a cpl months ago and am loving it.

Also, I watch good documentaries when I get a chance. PBS' Nova and Frontline are my faves.
