My journey from Syria to Armenia and ultimately to the United States has given me a deep appreciation for preparation, resilience, and long-term planning. By combining a global perspective, a strong academic foundation, and a commitment to understanding each client's unique story, I strive to help clients align their financial resources with the life they want to live. |

My journey has taken me across three countries and shaped who I am today. I was born in Aleppo, Syria, and come from an Armenian family. In 2012, my family relocated to Armenia, where I spent five years before moving to the Boston area in 2018.
I am married to my childhood classmate, Nayri. We first met in Aleppo before her family immigrated to the United States, and years later we reconnected and eventually built our life together.
Education has always been important to me. I earned a Bachelor's degree in International Relations from Al-Kalamoon University, a Master's degree in Political Science from Yerevan State University, and later completed an MBA in Finance at Bentley University.
Outside of work, I am passionate about health and wellness. I exercise several times a week, enjoy sprint training, and follow a nutritious diet with my wife. We focus on eating balanced meals and living an active lifestyle, believing that good health creates a strong foundation for success in every area of life.
