Early Life
I’M THE WARGUY, BORN IN KABUL’S BULLET STORM, LEADING A GLOBAL VENTURE! In 1989, Soviet jets roared as my mom pushed me out in a shack—no hospital, just war’s chaos around us! She birthed me straight into terrorism—thanks, Mom, great start! At 7, I picked pistachios in wild mountains, selling them at markets. By 10, I harvested opium, sold it, and peddled cookies village-to-village. From 13 to 15, I taught English and computers, worked the fruit market, and made money. At 16, I joined the U.S. government as an operator; at 18, I built a transportation company, renting cars to U.S. firms building Afghan streets. I dropped into the land of America following generals and a special visa—an honor for my fight! I’m an entrepreneur by action—I’ve built and managed multiple companies, brokered millions in deals, leading a research, publications, and events firm, a digital marketing powerhouse, a logistics leader, and more.
