He was born into a middle class family, his father being a Professor of Geography and his mother a secretary. In his youth he was a voracious consumer of maps, atlases, and geographic textbooks. He achieved high marks in Mehmet's national college exam and studied geography abroad at Kakhab Grand Ecole, where he learned about the emerging fracking industry. In 2005 with 10 million in capital he went back to Mehmet and began probing the country's shale deposits. His Mehmet New Energy Resources quickly started up the Mehmet Fracking Revolution and he became extremely wealthy. The shale boom that he jumpstarted led to a massive economic explosion in Mehmet that made the country HCCK's wealthiest.

Many journalists have criticized him for his "roudy" business practices where he takes advantage of the lack of regulation within Mehmet to pollute the land and ruin water supplies. He has a brash management style and a larger than life toxic persona according to many that work with him. He is quick to bribe officials, shut down local dissident and do anything possible to keep his operations afloat.

On the topic of regulations, he has stated the advantage of doing business in Mehmet State is "the lack of the red tape and regulations you see elsewhere" and he thinks for the country to continue being prosperous the monarchy "cannot remove this massive advantage".
