I got married to my wife, Leyla Hedayat, back in 2003, while I was living in Chicago. We have two kids, daughter Eleka was born in 2005, and my son, Cameron, was born in 2007. Yeah…we’re busy!

After SJSU, I headed to Chicago to attend law school. After that, I got my first job at a large law firm in Chicago. Several years later, I found a nice gig with a firm in Palo Alto and made the move. After a few more years, I jumped ship and moved to an in-house position at eBay. Here, I am one the lead attorney in charge of the company and it’s subsidiaries’ branding and advertising clearance and other intellectual property issues. Just what I imagined I would be doing while we did the 100 club in the kitchen at old 123 S. 11th!
