About the Author

I was born in French Morocco and spent my teenage years shuffling from Casablanca and Paris. As a world class swimmer, I competed around the world before receiving a swimming scholarship at La Salle College in Philadelphia, Pa. I later found employment with Honeywell, GE, Siemens and Picker International. In 1986, I was issued my first patent, which I licensed to General Food’s Kool-Aid , Germany’s Capri-Sun , and to other multinationals. I was subsequently awarded over 100 patents. In 1991, I moved to the Netherlands, where I managed an advertising agency for several years. During this period, I studied and developed a unique taste and love for digital graphic arts. I took particular offense to the perpetrators of this evil act that occurred on September 11, 2001. I decided to use my cultural knowledge of Arabic and Muslim societies to help root-out the bad apples, and proudly joined TSA.
