Bienvenue!  I’m Ibrahim Husain, and this is my online home.

So who am I?

I could make this page a personal resume, but I am so much more than a resume paints me (just like you are), so I’ll leave the resume for another day.  Here are a few things that I am.

First off, I’m a dreamer.  I spend more time thinking about all of the things I could be/do than pretty much anything else.  This is why it was so difficult for me to choose a career.  Even when picking my graduate program, I kind of just picked the one that I thought would allow me the most versatility to choose what I want to do later on.

Second, I’m an artist. I love writing, digital art, photography, web design, singing, music, and pretty much anything else that allows me to express all the sunshine I have inside.  I love the idea of creating something for all of the world to experience, and being the non-decider that I am, I pretty much love any medium that allows me to do that.

Third, I’m super-smiley-sunshine.  You know that person who’s all sunshine and lollipops and never has a sad face?  You know, the one who annoys you by being bubbly even when you are angry and annoyed.  That’s me.  I know some people think you should experience the entire plethora of human emotion, and I have.  But I liked happiness so much I decided to focus on that one.  And that’s how I live my life.

Fourth, I’m married to a lovely, smart, funny, and beautiful woman.  She’s the most amazing thing to wake up to, and the last thing I want to see before I go to sleep at night.  And with our super hectic schedules, that’s pretty much all we have.  I love her though, so I’ll take whatever I can get.

Fifth, I’m a serial hobbyist. I pick a hobby, and stick with it till I’m pretty decent, then usually another catches my interest.  Therefore, I guess I’m decent at many of these hobbies, but excellent at none.  I’m ok with that, I like variety.  I ride a motorcycle, am a blogger, a guitarist, a graphic designer, a photographer, a computer gamer, a basketballer, a fitness buff, a (terrible) film maker, a cook, a web developer, a computer nerd (as if most of the other things didn’t already portray this), a science buff, a social media expert (at least my job description says I am), a singer,  and many more things that I can’t think of right now.

Sixth, I can beat you at Starcraft 2. This doesn’t matter to pretty much anyone I know, but I still think you should know it, just in case you thought you could beat me.  You can’t…

Seventh, My mind works like your iPod. I wake up every single day with a song in my head, and usually I have no idea where it came from.  I think in terms of pictures, music, and video.  Even when I think in terms of just simple words, I see the words scrolling on a marquee like the the stock exchange ticker.  I used to think it was weird, but now I know it’s just super awesome!

Eighth, I’m an entrepreneur. I love the idea of developing and creating a new start-up business.  I own a blog design company, an online lifestyle magazine, and I will start a photography company soon.  I’m always looking for the next business.  I love the idea that we live in a country where a person can develop ANY skill they’d like and can use that skill to make a living.  It’s a wonderfully free feeling!  Go USA!

Ninth, I’m a reader. I love reading almost everything.  Personal development, biographies, classic fiction, trade journals, and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.  I love reading books that friends and family say really effected them.  Have a recommendation?  Contact me here with details!

Tenth, I love helping others achieve success in anything they do that I can help with.  Think I can help you get where you’re going?  Hit me up here and let me know how I can help.  Pretty much the only thing I can’t help with is finances, being a broke grad student and all…

Eleventh, I am the oldest of 14 siblings.  There is me, Safiyyah, Adam, Ahmad, Ameer, Anis, Haneefa, Abdulla, Abdurasheed, Abdul-Salam, Bradley, Mikayla, and Elli.  I’m also an uncle to Ava Layne Johnston and Izabella Husain.
