My Journey: A Life of Curiosity, Purpose, Success, Failure, Life Lessons, Balance, and Much More
Sharing stories from all aspects of my life, startup ventures, personal growth, family, and community—exploring what it means to live with purpose, learn from failures, celebrate successes, and find balance along the way.
Who I Am
My Journey
Hello and welcome to my personal blog! My name is Alex, and my story begins in Iran, where I grew up in a loving household with two parents who were both educators. My siblings and I were raised in an environment defined by warmth, respect, and the unwavering belief that we could achieve anything we set our minds to. Although our country was experiencing tremendous turbulence—including a prolonged war—my parents somehow managed to shield us from trauma and keep our spirits high. Looking back, I realize how deeply their positive outlook shaped my ability to find joy and resilience, no matter the circumstance.
When I was 16, I left Iran under extraordinary circumstances, navigating borders and uncertainty until I finally arrived in the United States. That difficult journey taught me invaluable lessons about courage and the power of perspective. Ever since, I’ve carried with me a commitment to embracing every challenge and finding the silver lining in even the toughest situations.
Family & Values
Family has always been the cornerstone of my life. I’m a proud father to a wonderful son named Pasha, and I prioritize spending time with him and the rest of my loved ones. My parents’ approach to education and their dedication to helping others instilled in me a core belief that we’re all part of one connected community. I aim to reflect that same sense of compassion and integrity in my everyday life, whether that’s in my personal relationships or in my professional endeavors.
Pivot to Healthcare
Although I’ve been involved in various businesses in the past, my current passion lies in the healthcare sector. Over the years, I’ve noticed an incredible gap where processes, technologies, and compassion can converge to create a better experience for both patients and healthcare providers. Far too many professionals in this field endure burnout, and far too many patients don’t receive the level of care and dignity they deserve.
My mission now is to bring efficiency and innovation to healthcare—integrating technology and modern business principles so that our medical professionals can deliver outstanding care without being overwhelmed by bureaucracy. I believe that through thoughtful planning, cutting-edge technology, and a genuine focus on patient outcomes, we can create a healthcare model that serves as a beacon for the rest of the world.
Giving Back
Giving back to the community is a huge part of who I am. I’ve been actively involved with a wonderful organization called Corazon de Vida, which provides support to orphanages in Baja, Mexico. Serving on the board and volunteering my time with these children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Beyond that, I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs—sharing the lessons I’ve learned in hopes of inspiring them to dream big while staying grounded in a sense of purpose and compassion.

Personal Philosophy
At this stage in my life, success is defined not just by financial well-being, but by balance, inner peace, and meaningful connections. I’m a strong advocate for meditation, physical fitness, and journaling—practices that help me stay focused, positive, and aligned with my values. Even when times get tough (and they often do), I’ve learned that keeping a curious mind and refusing to give up can lead to breakthroughs we never imagined.
Looking Ahead
The future excites me every single day. I see endless opportunities to leverage technology—AI, automation, and data-driven solutions—to improve our healthcare systems. But my ambitions don’t stop with technology alone. I want to make sure that these innovations keep human dignity at the forefront. By treating patients and professionals with empathy, respect, and understanding, I believe we can revolutionize how healthcare is delivered.
In the next five to ten years, I hope to look back and see a positive impact on the lives of providers and patients alike. If I can leave this world slightly better than I found it—making sure my own son, family, and the communities I serve see a future filled with kindness and opportunity—then I’ll know I’ve done my part.
