So the big reason that I'm here is my wife.

So she immigrated here eight years before I immigrate here. We were together last 15 years.

But I always want to stay and fight for Iran and do my best for my community.

And I used to travel a lot and teach all around the country

that what I wanted to be.

I was very top part of rock climbing in my city and my country

and I tried to get back to my city and teach more.

I'm a teacher too and a coach.

But like I got to the point that I haven't

had a job. I haven't had any income. There is no one to full-time route today or no one do full-time

coaching. I used to work in the small cart and sell a sandwich and stuff to people in the park.

And I get that income to spend it climbing.

Route setting in Iran isn't as glamorous as it is in the States.

Heck, route setting sometimes isn't glamorous at all.

Back home, Amin was used to paying just to climb.

He paid to teach, paid to set, paid to compete.

He even paid for climbers to attend his workshops,

all while scraping money together from selling sandwiches from a cart.

So I immigrated to US in 2017, and seven years if I asked you what's your dream, what's your biggest dream?

I want to say I'm a route setter.

So I can't have enough income from route setting to cover my family.

So I got here, I find a job, it's like, it's growing.
