My name is Khafiz, the creator of Introvert Outlook. I was born and raised in Northern California and lived most of my life trying to figure out why I am so quiet and reserved, all the while dealing with ridicule from people all around me.

Throughout my childhood, I lived through some pretty traumatic experiences from an abusive stepfather, which left me with some extremely deep emotional scars that took years from which to recover. I attributed my quietness to these traumatic experiences before truly understanding what it means to be introverted.

At the age of 19 I found myself misguided and on the road to nowhere, so I decided to join the United States Air Force and venture off on my own. I am now retired from that career after 20 years, but it was late in this career where I came to understand the true meaning of introversion and how to harness the power of being an introvert.

I am also a husband to my wife of over 20 years and father of two teenage children, and they are my world. I have also discovered several hobbies and interests along the way that I dabble in here and there like running, mountain biking, photography, woodworking, automotive repair, handyman repairs, writing, skateboarding, and just being a jack of all trades.
