Born in 1965 on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, Al is an entrepreneur, senior e-business consultant, web designer, photographer, and martial artist. With over 35 years of experience across North America and Europe, he has developed strategic business plans, built strong teams, and delivered robust e-business systems and infrastructure.

At age 9, Al lived through the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974—a formative experience that shaped his resilience. At 17, he served two years in the Cyprus National Guard, later completing undergraduate studies in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems, followed by postgraduate studies in Business and Production Management in Greece and Cyprus.

Since 1998, Al lives in Toronto, Canada, where he runs COMMbits Inc., a web design and IT consulting firm he founded in 2002. He is also an Oakville-based photographer and enjoys playing the piano.

A lifelong martial artist, Al holds a 4th Degree Black Belt and the official title of “Master.” He actively coaches students in the Toronto area, sharing the values of discipline, perseverance, and personal growth.

Throughout his career, Al has been known for solving complex problems and building loyal, high-performing teams. In the mid-1990s, he managed the German Henkel detergent production facility in Cyprus, overseeing 30 staff and implementing custom software and quality systems that earned the plant ISO9001 certification. Around 2000, he led a 70-person IT team through major U.S. acquisitions, showcasing his leadership at scale.

In 2024, Al developed Spime, a revolutionary mobile platform that connects people not through friend requests, but through Space-Time—enabling real, location-based sharing that redefines how we interact in the digital world.
