  Born in Tehran, Iran in 1980, he later moved to England at the age of four, initially on a short-term basis to undergo a sight-saving operation which was ultimately unsuccessful. As a result of his blindness, in 2004, he was allowed to become the first male journalist to be allowed into any kind of women's football in Iran.
