Amir grew up in Tucson, Arizona where his family - Iranian Immigrants - owned and operated a cowboy bar - a business Amir was fated to inherit.

His story is one where the trappings of success insulated him from himself and his journey thru sobriety has largely been about getting reacquainted with who he truly is.
