Omar
Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010Like most US-born Indians of his generation, Omar was not cool in high school. But at the age of 13, when he was playing Dungeons & Dragons with dudes who looked like Oscar Wao, his aunt tried to console him by telling him that all the cool guys at school would be the ones pumping his gas and driving him around 20 years from now, like in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. Two of those cool, future-gas-pumping guys from Omar’s school are now state senators.
Despite his parents’ dreams of their only son becoming a doctor, Omar ended up designing his own major in college. I can’t remember exactly what it was called, but I think it was something that sounds synonymous to “undeclared stoner”. Luckily, this total lack of direction in college proved to be the perfect experience for bullshitting his way through a series of marketing positions at Internet startups after he graduated.
Currently, Omar works from home as a “web entrepreneur“, so if you have “funding opportunities”, please do “circle back” with him soon. Oh yeah, and Omar loves the shit out of his wife. He just doesn’t understand her (or most things) most of the time.
