Jax Khademi

I was born on February 8th, 2004, in Maryland and grew up in Chevy Chase. The majority of my life has been consumed by competitive tennis, golf, and acting. I am currently enrolled at The University of Tennessee chasing my bachelors degree in Political Science and Business. I have dreams of owning my own law firm. My father, Ehsan Khademi, was born in Iran and immigrated to Southern California. He graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic University with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. My mother, Micki Khademi, was born in Thailand and spent her early childhood in Laos. When she was eight years old, she came to the United States as a refugee fleeing the Vietnam War. She attended college but did not graduate due to financial constraints. She obtained a job at Citibank as a teller and worked her way up to a VP position. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from my parents' backgrounds, and their stories have influenced my passion for business, entrepreneurship, and law.
