In 1980, the University decided to make a decision that all foreign exchange students must pay a much larger tuition. This caused Ali to move to the United States, specifically San Francisco. Fast forward to 2013, Ali moved to Sonoma County. Ali’s education journey began as a medical sciences major, but eventually switched majors and received his Bachelors of Science in Business Administration at Lincoln University In San Francisco.
