Javed is a recent Special Visa Immigrant to the United States from Afghanistan. He is 32 years old and a High School graduate that is very articulate in the English language which allowed him to serve as an interpreter (terp) for the US Armed Forces and CENTCOM Contracting Command for over eight years (2005-2013). Before working as a interpreter, Javed worked as a sales representative for Coca Cola. After serving as a terp, Javed taught English language classes at the Effortless English Club in Kabul, Afghanistan (2014-2016).

Javed's hobbies and interests include studying different books, playing volleyball and debating about cutlture, history and politics. Something he is very good with as he and Stew spent countleess hours on patrol together discussiong all of these topics, among others, cracking jokes and learnign about each other's family.

We look forward to welcoming him to the show to talk about Afghanistan, the war there, the State Department Visa program and many other topics from his unique perspective.
