Early life

Sadaghdar was born in Iran on 13 January 1977 and resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3][4] He was conferred a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Tehran in 1999 and, after moving to Vancouver, a Master of Applied Science from Simon Fraser University in 2006.[9][10] He married his wife, Sara Nafisi, on 16 September 1999.
