Once Drafted, Now a Dreamer.

Meet Arman, once a pro athlete and achieved what most think is impossible by making it to the NFL.  He’s first love will always be football but is slowly starting to fall for Arizona and its ample amount of sunshine.  Arman is now a valley realtor. Get to know him as he finished these 20 sentences.

I was born…

in Washington, D.C.

My favorite thing about Arizona…

Is the year-round SUNSHINE. It is very rare that we get cloudy days.

I’m listening to…

Reggae.

My family…

Means everything to me they are my foundation and rock.

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…

Otis Redding (he died at the age of 26) I would want to know what he experienced in his life to be so young and to sing with so much pain, conviction and wisdom beyond his years.

One thing I cannot live without…

Is my phone.

When I was younger, I wanted to be…

drafted into the NFL and I was able to achieve it.

I’m inspired by…

My family, dreamers and hard-working people.

The one person who motivates me is…

my Dad he is the hardest-working, most dedicated person I know.

If I could change anything in the world, it would be…

To bring back all my grandparents, sit them in one room and talk to them about their life experiences and soak up their wisdom

The perfect day would be…

An early workout, a good veggie and fruit shake, 90 degree weather, nice swim at the beach, reggae music playing while getting a massage and a good steak! THAT’S LIVING!!

My first job was…

A wood renovator.

My favorite escape…

The gym

My life…

Is fulfilling. I have been fortunate in my experiences, both professionally and personally. Life is great.

I’m currently working on…

My career in real estate. This is very different than professional football, but I will work just as hard as I did as an athlete. Everything I do, I give 100%. I don’t take anything for granted.

Always…

chase your dreams, always open the door for a woman, always tell your loved ones you love them.

Never…

say never, never wear leopard speedos to a pool party, never wear a fanny pack…lol

Favorite Quote…

“Winning isn’t something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream”.

Biggest Dream…

To travel the world and to experience different cultures and people.

My Pet Peeve(s)…

When people do not put the cap back on the tube of toothpaste, laziness, quitting and fake people.
