    Being an instructor at RHU has been a growthful experience. Interacting with students from various parts of Lebanon has given me the opportunity to utilize what I had acquired academically and culturally during my relatively long stay in the United States for the benefit of my fellow countrymen.

     

    While counseling students at Walsh University in Ohio and while teaching at the University of Mississippi, I discovered that working with college students is one of the most rewarding experiences, and hoped then that I would be able someday to do such work in my homeland. This hope that came true allows me to contribute to the development of our youth and to be in touch with their concerns.

     

    Another aspect of my life includes being a husband and a father to two kids whose presence in my life has been a transforming and intriguing experience. Besides enjoying spending time with them, I find pleasure in nature, in practicing certain spo.
