About me

I was born in 1976 in Aleppo, Syria, and grew up in Beirut, Lebanon. Due to the civil war, I came to Germany, where I obtained my secondary school diploma and completed training as a management assistant for office communication. At just 16, I became one of Berlin’s youngest bouncers.

 Later, I joined the German Armed Forces and served as a military police officer, where I also received training as a bodyguard. After my time in the military, I worked for several years as a bodyguard, both nationally and internationally.

 For several years now, I have been taking professional acting classes and have appeared in various TV productions and films.
