The Parents

We have been married since 1993. God has blessed us with two wonderful children, Bassam and Zayna. Darleen is a full time while I am full-time instructor at Highline Community College, Des Moines, WA, since September 2005. We love raising our kids and enjoy their presence. We love to listen to classic music, travel, and collect movies.

Darleen comes from a wonderful family who most of them live Arizona and California. She is a third generation Japanese. She is interested in exploring different cultures, in particular Native American.  Darleen enjoys outdoors, music, reading, cooking, and working in the yard. She also enjoys movies and animals.

I am a first generation Lebanese who has been living in USA since 1981. I enjoy education from all aspects. I received my M.S. Degree in Master of Information Technology from AIU and B.S. in Computer Information System from Strayer University. I received my A.S. in Math/Science degree from College of the Sequoias. I attended California State University Fresno for two long years majoring in Math and Computer Science, but unfortunately I could not complete my degree.

I enjoy working with students and advise them academically; I had done so for over 11 years. However, most of my enjoyment comes from classrooms when I teach. I enjoy working and developing databases and designing and building websites. I was involved with MESA for over 13 years as a Director and Facilitator. I have taught computer information and technology system on part-time bases at the College of the Sequoias, Visalia, CA, and National University, Fresno CA. However, I finally decided to teach full-time and co-directing the Tutoring Center at Highline Community College, Des Moines, WA.
