Ali is a Washington D.C. native and our resident academic. An avid learner, he taught himself to play the drums, to cook, and start his own small catering services company making curries for hungry students while being one himself in San Antonio. After moving to Austin, he began his latest journey with Drink Slingers as a bartender and when he isn't slinging drinks, you can find him at a show downtown or making curries for hungry individuals.
