During my relentless pursuit of the truth, I have discovered that it has many faces; and each one of us will only believe his own definition of what "truth" is.

Biography

Over 13 years of experience in journalism and media production. My passion for bringing forth the truth expanded my horizons within the media industry. In 2007 I started my professional career as a journalist at Al-Akhbar newspaper. Since then, I have worked as a journalist, documentary filmmaker, researcher, writer, executive producer, and assignment producer.

My articles at Al-Akhbar newspaper and other foreign newspapers revolve around criminal, social, and judiciary issues in Lebanon and the region. I am eager to reveal the truth to the public through my investigations and writings. Due to my extensive research, writing, and critical coverage of Islamic groups and the war in Syria, I have become an expert on these Islamic Jihadi groups and movements. My research and interviews expanded the contact list I grew on all opposing sides of the war. I have visited and interviewed Al-Qaeda/ISIS leaders in Syria and Lebanon, inside and outside of Palestinian refugee camps. I have employed my vast knowledge and skills in creating and producing documentaries about the region, ISIS, Syrian war, and its warlords.

In 2014, I founded Blue House Film. It’s a production company based in Beirut, Lebanon, specialized in the production of documentary films and ads. 

In 2018, I published my first book titled “How the Syrian Revolution Grew Its Beard.” This book is the result of my 6-year investigative work on different Jihadi groups, rebels, suicide bombers, and Syrian armed groups, in Syria and Lebanon. I consider my book a reference for anyone who wants to dive into the details of the war in Syria.

In 2020, I founded “The Hub” with a group of journalist and producers. This company is specialized in helping journalists and filmmakers, by providing needed news and media services in Lebanon and the Arab region. 

My expertise on all the preceding subjects and topics qualified me to be a credible guest and source of information for national and international media.
