You are an artist when you create anything your mind can imagine. You are an artist when you want to call yourself an artist not by the quantity or quality of work produced, not by academic degrees and paper qualifications but when you confess your emotions and create something beyond existence. It is originally yours and yours to own.

I am in the Fire emergency service Organisation. Professionally, I started out as an Emergency Response Specialist. Then later became a Hazmat Specialist before finally a Hazmat Section Commander. I was deployed to 2 Fire Stations in a period of 14 years in a heavy industrial area in my country. Currently, I'm facilitating and coordinating training at a training academy.
Before I signed up as a firefighter, I studied engineering and worked as an assistant engineer in a plastic mounding company. But I realised it didn't colour my life enough. I was slogging to work doing regular hours and working with machines. I don't like it.
My life was an adventure while working as a firefighter. While fighting fires and rescue, I continued my studies, I signed up part time for multimedia technologies and development, Islamic studies and finally doing my degree in security studies. I never stop learning. In between, I was in a band, doing recording, writing songs and performing gigs, got involved in voluntary work at events and local Mosques, doing videography and managing a Soccer team. I travel and I made lots of friends along the way.
I realised I am intrigue by people and culture. I am active and busy, always meeting people, learning and trying new things.
