I recently graduated from UBC with a PhD in structural engineering. I've been working as a structural engineer for 2 years now. I was born in Dubai, lived there for 15 years and then moved to Shiraz, lived there for 8 years and then moved to Vancouver in 2007 by myself to do my graduate studies. I consider Shiraz my hometown. I'm very passionate about music and arts in general. I've been playing the Santour for 13 years on a semi-professional level. I'm very keen on sports an having an active and adventurous lifestyle. Working out three days a week at the gym is a must for me. I play soccer (football) with a team that plays in a competitive league. I like mountain climbing, volleyball, and mountain biking too. Other things I'm passionate about include cars, fashion, traveling, and all kinds of outdoor adventures. The ideal girl I'm looking for is an Iranian girl who was raised in a good family, speaks Farsi eloquently and is proud of her Iranian heritage, has a good educational background and a strong personality, has an active lifestyle and a healthy fit or athletic build with a good taste in fashion and style. I'm here to meet a girl who is looking for a serious possibly long-term relationship, believes in the extraordinary power of true love and the central role of family in our great Iranian culture. No one is perfect, neither am I, but it is these minor imperfections that make us just perfect for each other.
