Hi! My name is Muhanad Omar, "Mo" for short (that's me on the right). I was born and lived most of my life in Saudi Arabia (Aramco, Dhahran). I currently live and work in Amman, Jordan. In between the two countries, I spent about 4 years living in the small town of Rome, Georgia-USA.
One of my favorite hobbies is traveling. It doesn't matter what country-- I love exploring the world and experiencing different cultures. I'm also big on sports, basketball in particular. I'm not as athletic as I'd like to be, but I'm always down for a game of ball.
Favorite TV Show: Hereos
Favorite Movie: Rocky (all 6 of them)
Favorite Superhero: The Flash
Favorite Food: Sandwiches (yeah.. I know)
Favorite Drink: Root beer
Favorite NBA Team: Miami Heat
Professional
For the past few years I've really got into SharePoint, specifically MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0. As soon as I was introduced to them, I fell madly in love, and since then it's all I've been working with.
I'm a SharePoint Specialist at Devosis. Work is great, I can't complain. Working with some of my best friends and fellow MVPs every day is just amazing.
Community Work
After my professional life comes my life with the community. For the past 2+ years, I've been a member of the first and only .NET User Group in Jordan, Jordev. In 2007 I was elected to the Board Committee.
I've also just recently launched the first SharePoint users group in the Middle East, the Jordan SharePoint User Group. I'm really excited about this, and hopefully the group will grow into something big, and really make an impact in the Middle East one day.
You can catch me at all of the Jordev and JSUG meetings, whether I'm speaking or just hanging out, make sure to stop by and say hello. For more information about our meetings, you can check out my Jordev and JSUG categories, I'll be updating them regularly.
