I was born on May 09, 1967 in Aydoğan / Paphos. I completed my primary and secondary education in Akdoğan village and graduated from Nicosia Turkish High School in 1986. I graduated from Open Education Faculty Business Administration Department in 1991. I completed my training by taking part in certificate training programs on many subjects. I completed the Master's program in the Business Administration Department of the Institute of Social Sciences at Akdeniz Karpaz University. I am still continuing my doctorate education in the Department of Educational Administration, Planning, Supervision and Economics at the Faculty of Educational Sciences at Near East University.
Since 1988, I have held various positions in the Cyprus Turkish Orthopedic Disabled Association, which is an opinion-leading non-governmental organization about the disabled. I have been the chairman of the association for the last six years. Since the day sports for the disabled started in our country, I have been active until 2013, as an athlete and coach in Wheelchair Basketball, and as the president of the TRNC Sports Federation for the Disabled between 2006 and 2010.
Between 2014-2017, I was a Member of the Board of the Patient Rights Association, and between 2015-2017, I was the head of the Paphos Turkish Union, Nicosia. I have been actively involved in many civil society projects. I am a member of the TRNC Barrier-Free Informatics Platform, a member of the Nicosia Initiative, a board member of the World Association of the Disabled, Global Disabled Foundation, and a member of the Nicosia White Jasmine project. I was the Coordinator of the TRNC Prime Ministry Disabled Services Coordination Board, which was established by the Council of Ministers.
I live in Gonyeli and I am the father of a daughter.
