Famous Lawyer in Beirut. Moved his family from Tripoli to Beirut as a result of the 1958 civil war in Lebanon, as his association with the Gemayel's Phalanges party made his stay in Syrian-oriented Tripoli, uneasy. Was a very young teacher before becoming a lawyer. His students at the College of the Sacred Family in Tripoli, were older than him. He put his brothers in schools, and cared for the affairs of the family. Amassed good riches and real estate in the town of Echach near Zgarta. He sold that real estate when he moved his family to Beirut. He used the money to build one of the first "luxury" apartment buildings in Achrafieh, Beirut. With his wife Margo, he toured almost all major cities in the world even though he only spoke French. Died of a heart attack in 1977.
