I am bi-cultural. My mother is American, and my dad is Iranian. I speak both Farsi and English and have lived in Iran and the US. I am a degreed electrical engineer from the Ohio State University, but I have never worked as an electrical engineer. I joined the oil and gas industry as an instrumentation engineer, and been working as one since day one. I live in a small town in Ohio named Lima and work at a refinery. I returned to Iran after 19 years in 2021, but I have been visiting there regularly since. My hobbies are photography, travel, and exercise. I love history, antiques, art, animals, and nature. I am not a huge fan of spending too much time on my phone or social media. I am very private and maintain a low key lifestyle, but I am social and committed to my family, friends, job, and anything I have. I have never been married, so I am searching for my better half. Relationships are two way streets, and no one is perfect. I am the type of person who believes in building relationships and caring for each other. I am very passionate about life. If you are too materialistic, egoistic, and self-centered, we are probably not a good match. If you are looking for an online friend only, we are not a match either. I am here to find my better half, so we have to meet in person at some point.
