Naseem Asfari

CEO of GenixCell | US Army Veteran | Entrepreneur

I don't fit in boxes. My journey shaped me into someone who sees possibilities where others see obstacles. From Syria to New York, from survival to service, from curiosity to creation—I'm here to build, lead, and make things happen.

The Journey

1999

🌱

The Beginning

Born in Syria on October 7, 1999. Raised by my brother Nour, who was more than family—he was my teacher, my friend, and the father figure I needed. He taught me life's fundamental lessons when no one else could.

War Started

The Syrian war began. Life became unpredictable. Every day was a lesson in adaptation and resourcefulness. I worked as a bartender at 12, sold computers, became a publisher—whatever it took. These weren't just survival tactics; they were my education in resilience, creativity, and the infinite ways to solve problems.

🗽

New World, New Beginning

Moved to Upstate New York at 16. For the first time in 7 years, I experienced life without war. It was time to rebuild, relearn, and reimagine what was possible. The American dream wasn't just an idea—it was my new reality to create.

US Army - Watercraft Engineer

Joined the US Army as a Watercraft Engineer (88L). Fort Jackson to Fort Eustis, Virginia. The structure was familiar—I'd already learned discipline in far harsher classrooms. What I gained was new perspective, technical skills, and leadership experience. Served from 2018 to 2022.

2024

💼

Founded GenixCell

Started GenixCell, a technology solutions company. My mission: take the burden of technology off clients' shoulders so they can focus on what they do best—running their businesses. GenixCell solves a simple problem: businesses shouldn't need to be technology experts to succeed. We handle the tech, they handle their business.

What Drives Me

🎯

Growth Over Comfort

Stagnation is my enemy. I thrive on challenges, new adventures, and stepping into the unknown. Living comfortably isn't enough—I'm driven to continuously develop and evolve.

🤝

Empowering Others

There's no greater joy than helping businesses and people succeed. We're all in this together, and I believe in lifting others through knowledge, service, and direction.

👥

Leadership & Team Success

Leading brings me purpose. Watching a team come together to achieve something greater than any individual could alone—that's where the magic happens.

📚

Always Learning

Curiosity drives me. Whether it's figuring out how something works or diving into something completely new, I'm always chasing the next thing to understand. Learning keeps life interesting.

The Ping Pong Moment

I'll never forget the first time I saw a ping pong table. I was with my brother Nour in our neighborhood, watching people compete. He played a game, and I was mesmerized.

When it was my turn, I'd never touched a paddle before. But I watched. I learned. I felt it in my heart. During warmup, I figured out the grip, the angles, the speed. Then came the game—21 points, people watching and cheering.

I won my very first game ever. It felt natural, like I was meant to be there. That moment taught me something crucial: when you combine desire with observation and action, extraordinary things happen.

The next day, I told Nour we needed to buy a table. We found one on Facebook Marketplace and practiced constantly. Throughout hundreds of games together, I only beat him once. Just once. But those games weren't about winning—they were about brotherhood, growth, and the joy of mastering something you love.

Random Facts

📖 How I Learned English

Watched movies with subtitles and kept a notebook. Every new word got looked up and practiced. Music helped too. Repetition and obsession did the rest.

🌐 First Website Attempt

Built naseemasfari.com on Wix in 2011. Took it down that same year because I didn't have the tools to match my vision. Sometimes you gotta wait until you're ready.

🌐

🇫🇷 Used to Speak French

It was my second language growing up. Haven't used it in years and most of it is gone now. Turns out you really do lose what you don't use.

🏋️ Trained by a Champion

Got into bodybuilding with an Olympic gold medalist coach when I was 12. Dude was wild.

🖕 Flipped Off a Sniper

Sniper fire was normal life back then. Being quick was a survivability tactic. One day he missed, twice, so I paused to flip him off before moving on.

🎬 Still Want to Act
