Mousa Abdeljaber - Head of Business Development
A father of two boys and a fitness fanatic! I’m originally Palestinian, but I was born in Dubai and called it home for over 30 years. Traveling, food, and sports are what makes life for me.
Been to over 30 countries, and tried their local cuisines. I played every sport that I’ve ever came across, even skydiving. I failed miserably in some (surfing was the biggest failure). But soccer is life! I love watching it, playing it, and dreaming about it.
I come from a Cyber Security background, but soccer was always my passion, and this project is a dream not only for me, but for every young athlete in the Austin metropolitan area.
