His short stories have appeared in Story Quarterly, Coffin Factory, Epoch, Guernica, Fiction International, American Letters & Commentary, and other places. He came to the US from Iran to go to college and learned about the United States by working a variety of jobs—farm laborer, construction worker, and security guard—before finishing his degree in information technology but has always retained his love of literature and interest in writing.
