I was born and raised in Bahrain. It’s an island off the Persian gulf, with a semi-arid climate, so, Arizona feels just like home.

I love crystals, and have a pretty decent collection going. I can also identify most crystals.

I love to travel and get outdoors. I am also trying to build a travel channel on Youtube. It’s been slow, but do check out “Globe Trotter’s Stories”. And don’t forget to like, share and subscribe! LOL!

I have a research paper published on Royal Society of Chemistry journal that I did with my professor on a water purification system. This paper is now ranked as on top 10% of highly cited papers in General Chemistry.

My wife, Sneha and I have just been married about 5 months ago. We are both natives of Kerala, India. This place is nicknamed “god’s own country”, for its beautiful tropical location.

Archery and badminton are two of my favorite sports. I consider compound bows as cheating, so recurve or longbows all the way. I am always open to brush some rust off.

I love reading and learning new things. Philosophy, spiritual science and economics are all topics I would love to have a conversation about.

My first job was a freelance graphics designer. I worked on many event posters and promo videos. My first try with Photoshop was when I was in 9th grade, trying to make myself look like a Na’vi from the movie Avatar.

I am quite passionate about sustainability. It is one of my personal goals to build a self-sufficient earthship, incorporating permaculture, aquaponics, greenhouse, solar, automation,etc.

I enjoy working on DIY projects. One that my friends never let me forget is when I built a portable mini Van de Graaff. I hooked it onto myself then went around electrocuting everyone I touched and attracted small paper pieces toward me. (“Unlimited power!!!” – Emperor Palpatine)

MOVIN’ ON UP (AND DOWN THE STREET)h/d has some big news - we’re getting an upgrade! Office upgrade, that is. After 15+ years of being located at 16th Street & Rose Lane, our office will move just a couple miles away to 1707 E. Highland Avenue (Phoenix) before the end of the year.

If that address sounds familiar, it’s probably because it is! It’s the same address as the Kitchell headquarters, a.k.a. the location of h/d’s parent company. At this new space, h/d will continue to maintain our separate and unique identity, as we have since joining forces with Kitchell in late 2010.

Featured at our new space is a separate entrance off of Highland and a modern, updated interior and exterior. After 34+ years of creating great office spaces for our clients, we’re excited to be the “cool kids” now with a sweet new space to continue our commitment to teamwork, integrity, superior service, quality construction, and competitive prices. As the move gets closer, we’ll make sure to send out communications about the new address and future open houses. Until then, please continue all correspondence to our current address.

We look forward to your visit at our new home!
