I was born in 1978 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Back then, Uzbekistan was part of the USSR, but now it's an independent country. It's located to the south of Russia, so it's pretty dry and desert-like.

Anyway, to enlighten all the people who ask the same question upon meeting me, I was not named in honor of Allah. (If you do want to worship me, however, let me direct you here.)

In 1987, my family moved to Cherry Hill, New Jersey. I graduated from Cherry Hill High School East in 1996. And now I am at Swarthmore, where i'm majoring in biology and minoring in psychology.


Get back.
