He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and a Master in Commercial Art from Montclair State University in New Jersey. He is deeply rooted in his Middle Eastern heritage and the American experience through history, current events, and the surrounding urban landscape to where he lives and work.
