Jun. 1—Coming from one of the oldest cities in the world to rural Washington, Munir Daud produced a story that seemed like something only found in fiction.

When Munir moved to the U.S., he thought he'd be staying until he received his degree, and anticipated moving to his home country. But when he met his college sweetheart while studying at Washington State University, he watched his plans change drastically.

In his time on the Palouse, Munir built his company from a garage start-up to a successful business, and raised a family of four with his wife. After moving to the country on a whim and falling in love with a small-town Washington girl, Munir made Pullman his American hometown.
