About the Coaches

With over 15 years of coaching and mentoring experience, Aamir’s journey began right here at Clear Lake Islamic Center, where he founded and led the youth program as a teenager — an experience that shaped his passion for guiding others through life’s challenges. Aamir works with a wide range of individuals, including high school students, young professionals, business owners, and professional athletes.

His coaching blends timeless Islamic principles with practical, real-world strategies to help people create steady, meaningful, and lasting transformation. In addition to coaching, Aamir is an engineer who has worked for top engineering companies such as Tesla and Shell and now serves as a consultant. This combination of technical expertise and heart-centered coaching allows him to bring clarity, structure, and purpose to the people he serves.

He is also continuing his Islamic studies and Quranic education to deepen both his personal growth and the guidance he offers others. Aamir believes deeply in the power of coaching and draws from the Quran and Sunnah to help clients find direction, build discipline, and reconnect with what matters most. His goal is to offer a safe, faith-informed space where clients can reflect, grow mentally and spiritually, and strengthen their connection to themselves, their families, and to Allah SWT.
