I am on here because I currently reside in Columbus, Indiana where there are a handful of Arabs at best. Here is my story: I've lived in Dubai, UAE until 1998. I then left Dubai and spent a year in Beirut Lebanon at the American University of Beirut. I came to the USA in August 1999 to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I graduated from Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, Virginia) with a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering in August 2002 and a Master in Mechanical Engineering in August 2004. I opened a hookah (SheSha, Argeileh) bar while I was doing my masters at Virginia Tech. I still own that bar (She-Sha Cafe and Hookah Lounge in Blacksburg Virginia). I moved to Columbus, Indiana in September 2004 to work for Cummins Inc. I've been in Columbus since then, and recently took a decision that I no longer want to work for anyone and wanted to do my own thing. I own a few rental properties and am working on property redevelopment. I am now thinking about what the next big thing for me will be... and it's an opportune time to meet someone. I write the above not because I want to brag, but because I know us Arabs ... we like to know the history and qualifications of the counterpart from the get go. My ideal match is hard to describe in a few characters. I am looking for a level headed, ambitious, educated and good looking young lady. I care about looks and my preference is someone with an athletic/ slender build. The most thing I care about is intelligence and ambition.
