Suhail and my dog

I am a civil engineer by education, regulatory compliance specialist by profession, and an environmentalist and nature lover by choice. I support several conservation and animal rights organizations. However, I admit, I am not an activist and a tree hugger in the strictest sense of the phrases.

My life revolves around my family (wife, two children, and a Kuvasz boy), reading non-fiction adventure books and articles on the net, being outward bound (hiking, canoeing, kayaking, dogsledding, etc.), wildlife conservation, nature photography, listening to blues based hard rock and hard rock of the glam era bands, and writing. 

English is my third language. I hail from Pakistan where I was a country boy at heart, growing up close to wilderness and with many farm animals. I never came to terms with city dwellers and city life. I am mostly living abroad since 1980s.

I have a degree with an an individual major in financial, managerial and legal issues in construction from Columbia University in the city of New York. This major ultimately took me into the world of credit risk management, internal auditing and regulatory compliance. I started writing for Columbia's Engineering Newsletter, which was called 'Pulse' back then and I have been writing ever since then, mostly for organizational newsletters and magazines. I try to write combining all of my above mentioned passions as much as it is possible to do so.
